How to use Large Fonts on a Small Screen?
I am multiply disabled, and need to be able to use large fonts, to avoid eye strain, on a small laptop screen. I currently use 24pt OpenDyslexic. But Firefox's preferences, and many web pages, don't display properly with large fonts on a small screen. A lot of things get squeezed off the bottom of the screen, where I can't scroll to them.

This is probably a good site to be aware of http://www.accessfirefox.org/Firefox_Accessibility_Extensions.php It is a semi official mozilla community run site. IIRC the site and many of its addons were caught out by Australis. That is probably one site we should reach out to in advance if for instance making anything less distinct smaller, or lower contrast.
You can consider to zoom the page instead of using a large font. Zooming is less likely to break web pages as opposed to using a considerably larger font (24pt in your case). Full page zoom increases the size of all elements including the containers whereas a large font can cause issues with text on top of other text or on top of page elements in case absolute positioning is used or a fixed container size.
I tried that. I use increased minimum font sizes because it solves more problems than zooming, and doesn't create as many problems as zooming.
Advantages:
A. One setting works one many pages, without constantly resetting it, and sometimes triggering my migraines trying to reset it.
B. It enlarges too-small text to a reasonable size, without enlarging medium or too-large text to an unreasonable size.
C. It allows me to read without scrolling sideways.
D. It allows me to scroll down without scrolling sideways too.
Disadvantages:
A. Some pages are unreadable. Some preferences here are unreadable.
B. Google's captchas are even more broken.
