Don't forget that in both Firefox and Thunderbird you can quickly
increase the font size on the screen with Ctrl + (Hold down the control
key and press the + key. You will probably need the shift key too for
this.) And control and the minus (hyphen) key will reduce the font size.
It is very quick to do.
Sometimes the text on the screen looks rather small and I use the above
keyboard shortcuts to quickly increase the size to make it easier to
read. Then a quick ctrl with the hyphen key and I am back to the
previous size font.
