You should try pressing CMD + (Mac) / CTRL + (Windows). This should increase the font size in Firefox. There is also the option to zoom in, zoom out, and reset under "View" menu in the "Zoom" section in the Firefox menu.

How do I change the font size ?? The lettering is far to small.

Which browser are you using? Internet Explorer? Mozilla Firefox? Opera? Google Chrome? Safari?

If you are using internet explorer: Click Tools/View/Text Size and change it.

If you don't see tools at the top of your browser on a line that says File/Edit/View/Favorites/Tools/Help look for tools over on the right then click it and select Toolbars, then select Menu Bar and it will stay at the top of the browser so you can just click Tools/View/Text Size

The text size on Firefox is so minute I can hardly read it. If I fill in a form it becomes so small it is illegible. Do not have this problem on others, ie Google. Please help.

To reset the text size, press ctrl-0 (cmd-0 on a Mac). To temporarily increase text size, press ctrl-+. To permanently set text size, go into your preferences/options window, content tab, and look for the default font option.
