Hello,

My dad has found the font to small on his firefox browser. He asked me to have a look. The only thing I did was go in to firefox via the top of the screen, then tools/ options/ Content/ fonts and colours/ advanced/ changed the minimum font size to either 14 or 16, clicked ok, ok out of there.

Since me doing this, when I tried to log back in to hotmail (so we could see if my elderly folks could now read the emails easier) the page says done at the bottom left hand side of the task bar, but never loads to a page to sign in. He can how ever load google and surf the net.

I guided him back through what I did over the phone to reverse what we done to it, and he rebooted and he can get in to his hotmail.

I came home though from his house that same day and also changed mine the same way and I have no probs at all. I have an LCD monitor, he has an older analogue one.

Any ideas??? Thanks

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.0.5

Hi,
this happened because may be hotmail does not support characters to that size!
it has nothing to do with the monior type!
