Font size on opening page is too small - Thunderbird
I have searched the help to increase the size of the opening page fonts in - email subjects and account names. I am using the most recent update of Thunderbird. Per what I saw in the help I went to layouts.css.devPixelsPerPx and changed -1.0 to 1.2. Closed the config editor and returned to email - no change. I shut down Thunderbird and opened it again - still no change in the font size. I reset the setting in Config Editor and tried 1.25 - still no change. Tried -1.25 still no change. Each time when I go back to this setting in config editor - the number has been changed - but does nothing to change the font.
None of the font settings in Preferences have any effect on the opening page of Thunderbird.
I have some visual impairment and need these fonts larger. There has to be a way to do it. At one time these fonts were larger. There must be a way to change these - and why it is not easily built in to Preferences is terrible - and makes Thunderbird useless to those with minor visually impairment.
I need help in resolving this - there has to be a way.

Others on this forum, including me will tell you 1.25 will increase the size by 25%, 1.5 will increase it to 150% if the current size and so on. I have no idea how you translated that to a doubling of size by setting it to 1.2. To double it you would need to use 2. There is only one thing I am aware of that overrides that setting, and that is a userchrome.css file. Did you look in the chrome folder?
Have you modified the windows scaling in display setting to increase it instead of zooming everything? Probably a preferred method as you obviously want everything bigger to be talking about zoom.

have you perhaps got some custom CSS that sets other things to suit your visual impairment. Check in the profile folder for the existence of a userchrome.CSS file.

The only software that is a problem is Thunderbird. All other software on my desktop has the ability to either zoom in to increase font size (which Thunderbird does now when reading email - but not on the home screen) or adjust the font size. There is no such file as userchrome.CSS in my Thunderbird Profile folder.
Others on this help forum say that changing the settings in layouts.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.2 from -1.0 will double the font size - but it does not change anything - I am wondering now if updates to Thunderbird to the present have now disabled that change to work.

Changing to 2 made it bigger. Thanks!
