How do I adjust text size in toolbar, in tandem with browser text zoom, WITHOUT limiting the screen space of my browser window as a whole? Changing Windows DPI reduces browsability of window as displayed.

I tried to customize PC settings for my mom, whose site is failing. So I plugged in the nosquint Firefox addon and upped the font size. Additionally, I tried to make desktop text etc. (non-browser text) larger. When I accomplished this through the Windows DPI adjustment, the browser would not open to full screen width (at least, not through any means other than F11, which is something beyond my mother's understanding or patience). With DPI 120, the maximized browser will not go full screen, but will instead hold left of screen, and display less than the full width of the page being viewed (this make my mom give up. And who wants to scroll laterally anyways?). Is there some way to pair the functionality of Windows DPI boosts with Firefox text/window zoom? Thanks.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I changed Windows DPI to >196

See Toolbars and page content appear too large after upgrading to Firefox 3

Try to adjust the DPI setting, see layout.css.dpi

Try to set the pref layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 2 on the about:config page. --- To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
