Browser and menu turned small after update
Everything shrunk after the latest Firefox update. Menu text has turned tiny, icons are tiny, website content is tiny, resetting the zoom can only increase the text but is not helping for the menu. The updates should not change any settings... its annoying and time consuming trying to fix it.

Check your zoom controls.
<Control> (Mac=<Command>) + (plus) enlarge - (minus) reduce 0 (zero) restore
Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
I'm afraid that doesn't solve much. Changing the font size is not helping to deal with the reduced menu, taskbar, settings window and everything else that got reduced with the update.
You can set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0 (default is -1) on the about:config page. Adjust its value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 to enlarge or 0.9 to reduce) until icons or text looks right. Make sure not to use values too large or too small.
- modifying layout.css.devPixelsPerPx affects user interface and webpages (global zoom)
Firefox has a Zoom section in Settings to set the default zoom level for webpages.
- Settings -> General -> Language and Appearance -> Zoom
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".
