Font in the results of google searches is really small in Firefox

Post by migssgim12 »

Hello,
I am running Linux Mint 21.1. The font in the results of google searches is really small in Firefox, and I don't know what to do. I have tried increasing the font system wide, but to no avail. I have tried to change the font settings in Firefox, increasing the font size there including unchecking the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above," but still to no avail. Also I have tried clearing the cache and restarting Firefox. Every other page has bigger fonts, apart from the search results with Google.

You can try to zoom in, just press ctrl + (yes I mean the plus key).

Thanks, yes, I know I can do that, but I would prefer to not do that every time I launch a search. Why doesn't changing it in settings apply to every page? Including the results of Google searches. I would like to figure out a way to do this. It works in Chrome. I wanted to use Firefox but it looks like it just doesn't want to work.

The zoom factor is saved for each website, you don't have to adjust it every time. Have you tried the "Minimum font size" setting?

Thanks - that worked. Actually about Chrome, the font does change except for the address bar. It stays the same. Any insight on this? It's tiny.

I don't know how to do this in chrome, but in the system settings under accessibility there is an option for larger text. You can try that.

Yes I did that. Everything was ridiculously too small before I did that. It just seems like Linux Mint just can't handle my computer. For some reason everything is everything is either too big or too small now. I have no problem with Linux mint on my older computers, but my Lenovo Yoga from 2020 it is just all awkward. Are there specific settings for 1920 x 1080?
