Increase FF font size throughout

On some sites, such as MSE, I have increased the size of the font to make for easy reading and it stays that way, however I would like to be able to do one click and increase the size of the font, throughout. I'm damned if I can find the opportunity. I'm on the latest version of FF

    IM not sure if FF has the same option - but its wortha look - in IE in tools > internet options - advanced - you can alter a few of the text sizing options .

    You should be able to use 'cmd +' or 'cmd -' to alter the size of the text and this should be sticky over the session. As you have found out, unfortunately, the stickiness does seem to be very variable. Sometimes different web sites will behave. Sometimes different pages on the same sites will not behave.

    If you do not want to alter the default settings you'll just have to train your fingers to find the combination. And harrumph frequently at the vagaries.

    Menu, Tools, Options, Content, Font, Advanced: Set a minimum font size.

    Menu, View, Zoom, (and you can choose text only).

    I'm sure there are other ways too.

    Just hold down CTRL and use the scroll button on your mouse to increase and reduce font size.
