Larger icons on firefox homepage
All toolbars at top of firefox homepage are really small type including bookmark icons........How do I change these to larger font?

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
- Use the large icons
- Fiddle with preferences to change settings
- use a software extension to make changes for you
Large Icons.
If you have the small icons choose the big ones instead.
- right click on an empty part of a toolbar, use the customise option and choose large icons
- see Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars
Use software extensions
- see Use themes to change the look of Firefox
- look for them here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../appearance/
- also note that no squint affects the web content and is popular
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/ - if you or someone else needs more help in improving Firefox's accessibility see

very large icons and screenreaders etc.
Preferences
This is not entirely straightforward. You change advanced settings by going into about:config
- type about:configinto the address bar and hit the return key
- accept any warning
- You are looking for the preference layout.css.devPixelsPerPx start keying that into the search bar then select it when you find it
- 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)
