Iam kinda a ( newbie with Linux ). First, this will be an example only. Lets say when i open my ( gmail ) the page is so small to even read.
In order for me to see it, i hit the ( CTRL and + to make the page larger ) i have to do this each time on any window i open. Is there a way that i dont have to enlarge a site everytime myself? Its not that fonts are too small, its the whole page. Thanks Chuck
 
Is it the font that is to small?
Do the images show properly?
What is the size of the screen that you are using?
Is this something that just started happening?
What about the desktop?
How are you running Linux?
 
Open the three bars on the right side.
Look at the second line what does it say?

Both when you originally open a site and after you make it big enough where you can see it?

This was the line I was asking about. Mainly about what the % is when you initially open the page and after you adjust it where you can see it.

(1) The font size is small, like the whole page when open a site.
(2) The images show good.
(3) It didnt just start happening, its allways been to small for me to read.
(4) The desktop is ok except each time i bootup the icons are allways moved.
(5) When i click on the 3 bars at top right , it shows 100% i like to get that to 150% if possible.
 
Ok there is an add on that will do this for you it is called Default FullZoom Level. I have tried it and it works.

Read through and if you get stuck feel free to ask.

One you have clicked the link click on green button that says + Add to Firefox.
One the file has downloaded a new window will pop up click Install
Once the program has finished the install process and new pop up will come up asking you to restart.
Click Restart

Now after the browser has restarted all you have to do is configure it to keep the settings.

Click on the 3 bars on the right and select Add-Ons.
On the left side Select Extensions
Look for Default Full Zoom Level and to the right of that click Presences.
When the Options window come up look for Default FullZoom Level (percent)
In the text box to the right remove what is thee and type in 150.
Click Close

Restart Firefox and test.
