[Solved] Change font size in Firefox

Good day!
How can I change the font size in Firefox?
The method written here does not working in Q4OS Andromeda: https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=286#p286
I have set up font size - 16, but Firefox fonts are still small (see attachment).
Update: I have set up font size - 20, but Firefox fonts are still small (see attachment). They did not changed at all.

Re: [Solved] Change font size in Firefox

The post you looked at is 10 years old.
Within Firefox, click the "hamburger" in the top right corner, browse to the Font settings and select your preferred size.
Of course, this will be the default setting and it will be overridden by any font directive contained in web pages or style sheets.

Re: [Solved] Change font size in Firefox

Maybe some of the options described in the following article will help -- especially the 'layout.css.devPixelsPerPx' setting in "about:config":

This solution does not working!
I want to change Firefox menu and toolbar font size, not the webpage font size. (See attachment)

Re: [Solved] Change font size in Firefox

Try tinkering with the following flag in about:config

layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

Thank you Midas and theasmitkid!
Your solutions worked.
After changing the flag layout.css.devPixelsPerPx, I was able to change the menu font size.

Re: [Solved] Change font size in Firefox

I have also restored Compact Mode in Firefox using browser.compactmode.show flag.
