Larger icons on firefox homepage

Question

All toolbars at top of firefox homepage are really small type including bookmark icons........How do I change these to larger font?

Answer 1

There are three choices I can think of
# Use the large icons
# Fiddle with preferences to change settings
#use a software extension to make changes for you
Large Icons. <br />
If you have the small icons choose the big ones instead.
* right click on an empty part of a toolbar, use the customise option and choose large icons
* see [[Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars]]
Use software extensions <br />
* see [[Use themes to change the look of Firefox]]
* look for them here [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/appearance/]
* also note that ''no squint'' affects the web content and is popular <br />https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
* if you or someone else needs more help in improving Firefox's accessibility see<br/>http://www.accessfirefox.org/ <br/> very large icons and screenreaders etc.
Preferences<br/>
This is not entirely straightforward. You change advanced settings by going into ''about:config''
# type ''about:config''into the address bar and hit the return key
#* see http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config
# accept any warning
#You are looking for the preference ''layout.css.devPixelsPerPx'' start keying that into the search bar then select it when you find it
#use the Modify option and experiment with SMALL changes to the value. It will be set as -1.0 or 1.0, try 1.2 , 1.4 , 1.6, 1.8 & 2.0
P.S adjusting the preference may produce minor problems with which tooltip hints displayed for instance in the bookmarks sidebar (Bug 644952)
