How to Change the Text Size on Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Firefox provides two methods for changing its text sizes. To temporarily change the text size on Mozilla Firefox, utilize the text zoom function. For a more permanent change, modify Firefox's default font sizes. Because many websites choose to display specific fonts, you must also tell Firefox to disregard them and use your default settings.
