How can I increase the browser default font size?
When clicking on 'tools' to got to 'options,' there is no 'option' to be found. Hence, I cannot go to tools to options to content to fonts and colors, and cannot change the default size of the browser. All documents I want to print from a website have the small font size.

Hello lizramadhan, on mac it is not in Tools > Options > content this is for windows
for mac you find the content from, Firefox menu and select Preferences... to access the preferences window and then Content panel
see: Firefox options, preferences and settings
Settings for fonts, languages, pop-ups, images and JavaScript
Menu differences in Windows, Linux, and Mac
thank you

Changing the font size or color on the screen/monitor
- does NOT affect the print size
- can cause problems in displaying websites on the screen/monitor
- See - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/settings-fonts-languages-pop-ups-javascript (it says near the top "The Content panel contains options related to how websites are displayed.")
Print font size is determined on the Print display
- You can un-check "Shrink to fit" and then set your percentage, if you choose, but text may run off the right side of the printed page.

It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

An excellent AD-On for Firefox to correct your problem is the Theme Font & Size Changer..like all Ff addons, it's free and has a very small footprint on the top right of your browser.
