Hold down CTRL and hit the "+" key several times to increase the font size. Also, click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Content and in the Fonts & Colors menu, click the Advanced button. Where you see "Minimum Font Size", set it "9" (or higher). Also, remove the checkmark from "''Allow pages to choose their own fonts''...." I've included a screenshot of my own setup in case you want to try experimenting with fonts as well. ---- EDIT: update Flash a.s.a.p. The version you have installed at the moment is a security risk.
