Default fonts are too small, and increasing them causes problems on modern sites. Lines bunch up and overlap. Parts are cut off. Old sites were fine, they'd increase their table cell size to compensate.

Re: Increasing font size problem
If you set a "Minimum" font size in the Fonts dialog, unfortunately, that does not trigger proportional enlargement, so the text can overflow the allotted space based on the assigned font size. Keeping the Minimum font size set on None and using zoom works better.
I have to zoom this site to 150% to read it.

Re: Increasing font size problem
Ok, that's interesting. I wonder can I set a default minimum zoom level for all sites?

Re: Increasing font size problem
In a lot of cases I use code in userContent.css to set a monospace font for important text content (usually editors and post-body content) and a specific font-size if it is too low.
There is a Zoom section in Settings to set the default zoom level and Firefox can remember site specific settings via the Site Preferences.
Settings -> General -> Language and Appearance -> Zoom
about:config => browser.zoom.siteSpecific
Code: Select all
@-moz-document domain(forums.mozillazine.org){
.postbody, .content, .codebox code {color:#000 !important; font-size:14px !important; font-family:"DejaVu Sans Mono"!important; word-wrap: break-word}
textarea {color:#000 !important; font-size:14px !important; font-family:"DejaVu Sans Mono" !important;}
}
Settings -> General -> Language and Appearance -> Zoom
about:config => browser.zoom.siteSpecific
