Mozilla Firefox - browser settings
Practical help with adjusting the settings in your Firefox browser to make the screen easier to read.
Increasing the size of the text
Some users find screen text easier to read by increasing the size of the text on display.
To do this in Firefox, go to the "View menu", select "Text Size" and then select "Increase". You can do the same by using the keyboard, pressing the keys "Ctrl" and "+" at the same time. See the picture on the right.
Changing the display on the screen
Firefox provides other ways in which you can fine-tune how a Concern.net page appears on your screen.
For example, you can change the background colours and choose the colours for text, links and visited links.
You can make these changes by:
- Going to the "Tools" menu at the top of the page
- Selecting "Options..." from that menu
- Clicking the "Font & Colors..." button
On the "Font & Colors" box you can over-ride the colours used by Concern.net by ticking the boxes marked "Always use my: Fonts" and "Always use my: Colors".
You can specify the colours you prefer, including those for text, links and background. You can also choose colours to be used for links you have previously visited and links that change when your mouse hovers over them.
