Every now and then I notice questions about how to increase menu font size for one of the Mozilla's applications, usually for web browser. There are few different ways to do that.

Here is one example for Mozilla:

- Close all Mozilla's applications if some are open.
- Click: Start -> File managers -> ROX-Filer file manager
- In ROX window right click -> Display -> Show Hidden (check box should be enabled)
- Click: .mozilla -> default -> 7oma673h.slt (this is profile directory and could have different name) -> chrome
- If userChrome.css file exists -> right click it -> choose 'Open As Text' menu option
- Search for font size setting like:

* {font-size: 12pt !important;}

If such setting exists then you can change the value for the font size.

Set the font name like:

* {font-family: Arial !important;}

Usually is recommended Tahoma, but I prefer Arial.
If font size setting does not exist than you add it to the end of the file.
Save the file, start Mozilla and check the result.

PS:
If 'chrome' directory does not exists then:
- in ROX window right click -> New -> Directory -> at the end of the path in the text field type:

chrome

If userChrome.css file does not exists then:
- in ROX window right click -> New -> Blank file -> at the end of the path in the text field type:

userChrome.css

- in the new file then type font settings like:

* {font-size: 12pt !important;}
* {font-family: Arial !important;}

Warning
The font size settings must be outside of comment signs '/*' and '*/'. Here is a comment example:
/*
This text is comment.
*/

Here are the paths of 'chrome' directory of Mozilla's applications and SeaMonkey in different Puppy versions on my computer:

Mozilla - /root/.mozilla/default/7oma673h.slt/chrome
SeaMonkey - /root/.mozilla/default/1i1jciei.slt/chrome
Firefox - /root/.mozilla/firefox/zezfkl57.default/chrome
Thunderbird - /root/.thunderbird/hkivshw5.default/chrome
Sunbird - /root/.mozilla/sunbird/42r03oir.default/chrome
