System --> Preferences --> Font --> Details --> Increase the value of "Resolution: dots per inch". Change takes effect immediately so you can play with the value until you get it to a comfortable one.

John,

Inside of the Firefox web browser, you can hold down the ctrl key and press either the plus or minus symbol to increase or decrease the text size. You can also use the menu, View>Text Size. Also, here is a page that has all of the keyboard shortcuts.

Also, if your mouse has a wheel you can use CTRL and the wheel up and down to make the text smaller and larger.
