    Where is the setting in Firefox that will increase the size and clarity of the fonts while viewing web sites.

    Or does this depend on the Windows settings?

    Thanks. I had already done that and didn't realize that some sites won't change no matter what.

    What confuses me is the bit about setting the fonts to a minimize size. Why do that. I had gone in and increased the size.Big mistake?

    Did you mean minimum size? You don't have to choose any minimum size. And, there is nothing wrong about increasing size. May be someone has eagle eyes!

    Yes, I meant to type minimum instead of what I did type. (Minimize)

    Couldn't figure out why Flatiron would MINIMIZE any fonts.

    Still experimenting.

    I don't minimize font sizes at all in FF.
    I allow sites a minimum font size.

    My settings for now which are just fine on my eyes.:)

    Likewise, except that I was taking the default number, which is none. Just in case, I changed them to 11, although I can't tell why.
    There must be a misunderstanding, on this issue.

    Thanks.

    Some of those sites are just terrible.
