Fonts are too small and hard to read. How can I enlarge the fonts to a readable size?
When I click on the Firefox Internet Browser Icon the website comes up o.k. but the words (fonts) are so small it is very hard to read anything. Is there a way I can enlarge the words (fonts) so it is more readable.

Go to Tools | Options | Content and then in the Fonts & Colors menu, click the Advanced button.
Uncheck the option: "Allow pages to choose their own fonts instead of my selections above" and then choose a different size font/ font style. I've attached a screenshot which shows my own setup which you might find useful.
You can use one of these extensions to adjust the default font size and page zoom on web pages:
- Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965
- NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592
I downloaded the "Default FullZoom level" but I cannot find it to use it. How can I find it to use it? I have looked in every place I can possibly look and have run out of places to look. I hope you understand I am new to Firefox and I am not familiar with this browser. Please be patient with me until I get things resolved. I believe this can be a good browser but I am having a terrible time getting things situated. Thank you for the help and patience.
Have you tried holding down Control while hitting the "+" key? Each time you hit "+" the page will enlarge. It isn't permanent but I've found not all web pages use 'micro-text'.
That is a good temporary fix and it has to be done each time I change to another website so that gets a bit annoying. I wish there was a permanent fix that would keep the text and web pages at a comfortable reading level without having to adjust every page each time you go to another site. I downloaded the "Default FullZoom Level" but it doesn't show up anywhere so I can use it. I use this "Default FullZoom Level" that is available in the "Internet Explorer" and it works great with that browser. This is exactly what I need for Firefox if I could only get it to work. I like the Firefox browser better but cannot read the text because it is so small.
You can see if the Options button in Tools > Add-ons > Extensions is enabled and set the the default zoom via the options.
