Yeah, I've did without the search bar before too. Set my homepage to Google or whatever. And I've combined the menu bar, navigation, address bar and even bookmarks on my netbook to gain space. The reason I used Classic Theme Restorer was to put tabs back on the bottom, square them off, get my refresh icon out of the address bar and... I forget what else. :) Have fun and good luck.

when you go to the tools options fonts area then to advanced and make your changes did you remember to hit ok at the bottom for it to take effect? did you shut down all instances of firefox then restart it to have the changes go into effect? It works for me I have mine set at 20 and 13, on min. I have None, I do have the box checked for let them choose their own size. That is the front end for settings in your about:config file, to make changes directly to your about:config do this open firefox in the url box type about:config go, you will see your entire about:config settings page. Scroll down till you get to the f's there will be several fonts settings listed, go to the one that is bolded for font.size.fixed.x-western you will see the columns to the right they are on mine user set, integer, 13 that 13 is the set font size, you can change that number, I suggest you write down what it was before so you can change it back should you need to. Just hilight the number and change it. Then you will see another one bolded font.size.variable.x-western, user set, integer, 20 on mine, again you can change that number but write down what it was. Then shut down firefox and restart it for the changes to take effect. Anytime you change any settings you always have to shut down firefox and then restart for it to show the changes so if you were not doing that in your other settings that could be your problem. there is an add on that will save the settings for webpages for you too, go to the extensions page and do a search, I don't remember what it is called but search on text size or font size. I use an extension called text size toolbar wHich I love you can search for it and read about it you might want it too.

first thing you need to do is find out what is the proper resolution you are supposed to use with that monitor and make sure it is set properly in your windows settings, using the wrong resolution can be damaging to your monitor. Look up your monitor and find the stats for it or look on the manual that came with it and find the stats. Go to your desktop and right click then go to the tab for your monitor and make sure the slider is set to the proper matching resolution and settings for your monitor. If you need your text size larger everywhere including on the desktop icons and text you can go into the settings there in advanced and change the dpi settings. Write down what it was set at so that if you need to go back you know what to do. change the dpi and apply and see if that helps. Read the info on the new monitor for the button on the front of the monitor and see if there is an auto set button, you may have to do some adjusting using those buttons. To increase the size of the fonts in your browser only you go into the settings options for the browser itself and change the default font size, the directions depend on if you are using IE or firefox which is it? I would do the change in the settings for default rather than doing the change of text size option in view. Just be very sure you follow the proper resolution setting for that new monitor.

When you specify a font for a web page you have to remember that people who look at your site MUST have the specified font installed on their computer, otherwise default font for the browser (user may be able to specify a default font). So when you use a font like Jester, I doubt that many people will have the font, so most people will see it in Times New Roman. I assume that when you say Netscape, you are referring to version 4.x or lower, not version 6 or higher (totally different browser, only name is the same). As for the size, I suspect that it is honoring it, but it may appear that it is not. This is one of the problems with trying to format web pages for different browsers. Size 3 may mean one size in IE and another in Netscape 4.x and another in Netscape 6. Also size 3 may be different on Mac verses PC. Good thing about your page is that font is changeable by the user (I hate going to sites which uses tiny fonts with bad contrasting background and can't change the font size using view/text size), so just think of size being relative size to each other on the same page and not worry about with it actually renders on a users browser. However since this site is for seniors, I suggest that you increase the size to 5 for header and 4 for main text. Better yet, use h1 tags for the heading and leave off the font size for the body of the text or use +1. Dan
