5. increase font size in Firefox

Fonts too small on the web pages you view in Firefox?

Increase the fonts as follows:

Keep the Ctrl key pressed and press as many times the plus key (+) in the numeric keypad, until the desired size is reached. Reduce size: keep the Ctrl key pressed and press the minus key (-).

This will increase, however, both text and images on web pages. Thus, the images often become ugly. Limit the increase therefore to "text only".

As follows: Firefox toolbar - View - Zoom - tick: Zoom Text Only.

Handy add-ons (such as Adblock and NoScript) are installable in Firefox as follows:

Firefox toolbar - Tools - Add-ons - Get Add-ons - Browse All Add-ons.

Note: keep the number of add-ons limited, because otherwise Firefox will become noticeably slower.
