OS is XP Pro, SP3. Display is set thusly: Theme is Windows Classic. There is no background. Appearance is Windows Classic color scheme and Windows Standard buttons and windows.

I downloaded FF29 today. The new desktop shows a dark blue bar on the top left that shades to lighter blue on the right. Inactive tabs are dark blue with white type and the menu bar is also blue with small (very small) white type. This simply does not work with my eyes. I cannot live with this. The rest of the design doesn't cause reading difficulties, but I would prefer a very slightly large type overall. I've used the search feature and I've also gone to articles but don't seem to be able to find anything that is directly on point.

How do I change it to bigger type, a lighter color and black type.

You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the about:config page to 1.0 or on Windows 8 to 1.25 and if necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons show correctly.

Use an extension to adjust the text size in the user interface and the page zoom in the browser window.

You can look at this extension to adjust the font size for the user interface.

You can look at the Default FullZoom Level or NoScript extension if web pages need to be adjusted after changing layout.css.devPixelsPerPx.

Bigger Type

The following add-on is the easiest way to change this. After you install it, you should find a new "A" button on the toolbar. Clicking that opens a panel that lets you change the font size and color.

Background Color

I don't know whether the add-on can effectively fix the background color. If not, you can use a theme. That's a new background image which goes behind the entire menu and toolbar area. The themes section of the Add-ons site has a range of choices, some solid colors, some fades, and some designs/photos.

Can you find a good combination?
