zoom make everything larger including ui elements so by the time text is larger the ui is eating half the screen. i just want the text larger but live chat ignores global text overrides.

There are/were zoom type add-ons that would zoom the whole page, or just the text.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.
