Feature Request: 

  • Make easily set options under Settings to turn the entire user interface text (and maybe icons) bold - separate from settings controlling the fonts for web pages.

Extra Related Feature:

  • If possible also provide a text/icon stroke option (including thickness and color) for the UI so it does not matter what theme you use you can ALWAYS read the UI text and icons with ease. For extra eye-candy you could do a transperancy gradient on the stroke if that doesn't eat performance and is easy to do.
  • Option to force dark or light UI text and Icons without using an entire dark/light theme - so you can override themes that look good but have poor contrast with text and icons.

Bolding UI text is literally the best feature I've experienced in years (and I had to userChrome.css it into existence); If you have a 4k screen or use most themes you can barely read text and icons on the UI with ease. I don't know how this option does not exist as an accessibility option out-of-the-box. These UI accessibility features should be easily set in the Settings instead of hacking about:config and chrome/userChrome.css

You have no idea how good this looks and how easy it is to read the UI with bold text - especially on large glorious gorgeous 4k displays:
