To get larger type, you could try a different theme, or you could try the following add-on which works with any theme:

Any luck?

As for the site icons, hmmm, that's a tougher one. You can write style rules for various parts of Firefox, but I don't know whether they can attractively enlarge icons.

There are three choices I can think of

  1. Use the large icons
  2. Fiddle with preferences to change settings
  3. use a software extension to make changes for you

Large Icons.
If you have the small icons choose the big ones instead.

Use software extensions

Preferences
This is not entirely straightforward. You change advanced settings by going into about:config

  1. type about:configinto the address bar and hit the return key
  2. accept any warning
  3. You are looking for the preference layout.css.devPixelsPerPx start keying that into the search bar then select it when you find it
  4. use the Modify option and experiment with SMALL changes to the value. It will be set as -1.0 or 1.0, try 1.2 , 1.4 , 1.6, 1.8 & 2.0

P.S adjusting the preference may produce minor problems with which tooltip hints displayed for instance in the bookmarks sidebar (Bug 644952)
