How can I reset the font type and size on my email. It changed after I updated to Firefox 5.0 and I can't get it back.
After updating to Firefox 5.0 the font changed on my email. I checked, and the default setting is what I had put in before the update but it's not working. How can I get my email to use the font and type size that I chose? The one that's currently being used (since after the update) is so tiny one can hardly see it. My email program is through yahoo but there doesn't seem to be a way to change it at the email site. I'm not terribly PC savvy so please respond with a detailed/explicit answer. Thanks for any help you can give me with this. I have Windows XP and use Firefox as my browser.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
Hi again....thanks for the suggestion but, unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem. Still getting VERY tiny type size. I talked with AT&T tech support but they couldn't do anything about it. It seems to be directly related to the Firefox update. Any other ideas? I'd be most grateful. Thanks again for providing Firefox help.

You can use one of these extensions to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:
- Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
- NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
Hi Cor-el.....thanks again for the reply.....but that also didn't work. The type size on web pages is OK, it's only on messages that I compose that it's so small. Appreciate the detailed directions.....too bad it didn't solve the problem tho.
Did you try to zoom that page or reset the page zoom on that particular page?

Hi again...,,yes, I did try the "reset zoom" on the email compose message page and nothing happened. I'm not familiar with add-ons. Went to the address you suggested (DefaultFullZoomLevel) but don't know how to use it. Also, I don't want to enlarge the text on all web pages.....just the email page. By the way, if it makes a difference, I think I forgot to mention that I use AT&T/Yahoo webmail....not Outlook Express or Thunderbird or any other email program. I'm not familiar with those and don't want to change email programs. Thanks again for trying to help with this. I'm beginning to think this problem is "unfixable" and considering changing back to a previous edition of Firefox (IF that's even possible).
