Theme Font & Size Changer
Theme Font & Size Changer is a simple browser tool that lets you change the font size and font family of Firefox. It is especially valuable tool for visually impaired people and wide screen users.
There are three places that you can manage the global font size and font family of Firefox via Theme Font & Size Changer. Add-on Bar icon, toolbar button and Tools menu option. All font size and font family changes are instantly applied and they are saved permanently and through sessions.
Different from add-ons that enlarge and reduce text on web pages, Theme Font & Size Changer changes the font size and font family in all windows, menus, toolbars, etc within Firefox itself.
It was initially created to be an accessibility aid for persons with visual impairments and for those without perfect eyesight, but it’s also useful for Firefox users with high monitor resolution settings and wide screens.
While Theme Font & Size Changer was written to be used with Firefox default theme, it does work with other non-default themes, but you may come across issues where some elements within Firefox retain the (non-default) font size setting that the theme developer chose for their theme.
There are three places that you can manage the global font size and font family of Firefox via Theme Font & Size Changer:
• Add-on Bar Button: Click on the Theme Font & Size Changer button to open up Theme Font & Size Changer settings panel.
NOTE: Add-on Bar resides at the bottom of the Firefox window. Add-on Bar is the old status-bar. If Add-on Bar is not visible, you should activate it. To do so, choose View menu from Firefox Menu Bar and hover over the Toolbars option and click on the Add-on Bar option if there is no tick. If you are Windows 7 user, you should click on the orange Firefox button at the top of the window and hover over the Options and click on the Add-on Bar option if there is no tick.
• Tools Option: Choose Tools menu from Firefox Menu Bar and click on the Theme Font & Size Changer option. It will open up Theme Font & Size Changer settings panel.
• Toolbar Button: It is optional so it is not visible as default. If you want to place a Toolbar Button, right click on a toolbar button like Home Button, then choose Customise option. A window will pop up. Find the Theme Font & Size Changer button, then click and drag the Theme Font & Size Changer button in the toolbar of your choice and drop the button. Clicking on this Theme Font & Size Changer button will open up Theme Font & Size Changer settings panel.
In Theme Font & Size Changer settings panel, Font section provides fonts currently installed on your operating system. With this option set, you will be able to fine tune your font family of Firefox theme.
In Size section, simply select a font size value (from 6 to 80 pixels) and the changes will be applied instantly and globally.

I love being able to set the fonts and my brain is organized by colour, but I find the black font on the unselected tabs difficult to read. Would it be possible set the unselected tabs to white or yellow?

Dear Baris,
Thanks for update….
Great job.
Thank you for “Theme Font & Size Changer.” My wife is visually impaired, and this is a life-changer for her.
Apparently it has not been updated for Thunderbird 6.0. Will that change occur in the near future?
Again, my thanks for your thoughtfulness in providing this add-on.
I would like to support your efforts with a small contribution.
Unfortunately, your link takes me to a version of PayPal that’s in the Turkish language, which I cannot read.
Do you have a method of payment that involves a website in English?
Great program, excellent solution.
You can expand this program and solve another problem that no one else has done: miniscule cursors in Firefox and Thunderbird.
ON a high pixel density monitor, say 24″ or 30″, the system cursor looks “normal” when set to 64 x 64 pixels.
however, when your cursor mouses onto a Thunderbird window, the cursor shrinks down to abut 16-18 pixels and is hard to see.
Search google, and many people ask for solutions to this.
It would fit in good with your program (more than any other Thunderbird extension) if, in addition to font and size changes, you can set the cursor theme and size.
Please look into adding this to your fine program!

I looked for hours before finding this and had almost given up hope. Thank you so much.You have provided a wonderful service. Could I donate by paypal? Thanks again
Thank you for “Theme Font & Size Changer” [standing ovation, fireworks & brass band]. For those of us who have imperfect vision this extension is essential. I would be very grateful if this extension could be used in “Thunderbird” and especially “Songbird.” Will it work in these now? May the Lord bless and keep you.
