1. In Firefox, the Bookmarks toolbar appears to have one default font/icon size, and it's rather small and unattractive.

By contrast, Chrome's default is a larger and more attractive display.

Ideally Firefox would allow users to customize font size (or implement an option for auto-sizing, so that a certain number of toolbar bookmarks would fill the full toolbar width).

*This is another place where with added customization options, Firefox could easily be more competitive with other browsers.*

2. Notice too that Chrome allows users to customize the home page image, whereas Firefox does not. This would be a simple, super nice upgrade.

There should be an awareness that the display area is a resource and should not be wasted.

For those from Chinese character cultures, font size even determines whether or not they will use their browser. I think the font in Firefox UI is too small.

Font size in menu bar, bookmarks toolbar, tab heading too small. I could adjust this previously by going to about:config and adjusting userchrome.css values. Now with new Firefox updates you can't do that 😞 😞 😞

  • Please bring back that configurable file so that we are NOT squinting to try to see abhorently small text!!

Please allow us to change font sizes on upper rows of Firefox (menu bar, etc).  As the population ages (including me), our eyesight degrades and we need customization options.  Otherwise we'll go to Chrome.

Agree on adjustable font size for bookmark bar. Latest updates not only have very very small images but also have dropped the word description.  I need both.

I agree with Southbeach and Larry

The size in Chrome would be perfect or even better if its customizable by the user

Lots of people want this Firefox change.    Is there any indication of when, or if, it will be worked on?

Don't remember where I found this, but give it a try. - Works for me, but seems to revert each time there's a new FF update, which makes me crazy...

  1. In FF address line, type in: about:config
  2. Accept the warning
  3. When that opens, type devp in the search box
  4. The default layout.css.dev/PixelsPerPx setting is -1
  5. Click the pencil icon on the right end of that line and change it to something like 1 or 1.5 (without the minus sign!). You can change this setting in increments until you find one that works for you. I prefer 1.5.

Done! But as I said, when you install the next FF update, be prepared to change devp again.

Hope this works for you all...
