How to Set Text Size in Firefox
Mozilla Firefox is a browser that you can easily configure to your personal tastes, both with visual styles like skins or "personas," and with various functional changes. Among these functional changes is the ability to adjust the text size of the Web pages you visit. You can adjust your text size on-the-fly and make it smaller or larger while viewing a page, or you can configure Firefox to ignore the text size settings on Web pages and always display the text in a size you've specified.

Tips & Warnings
When you change the font display size globally, you risk making some Web pages unreadable because they were designed to display text of a specific size. For general use, it is better to increase or decrease the size with the "+" and "-" keys on a page-by-page basis.
