On a tablet...don't know. But while FR is up in Chrome on a PC, one would simply hold down Ctrl button and hit the plus sign (+) to increase font size incrementally.

There may be a similar way on a tablet. Dunno. There should be.

Try the brave browser instead and see if that helps.

I found this in a Search;

To change the font size on your Android browser, open a web page and press the menu button.
Go to Settings => Accessibility and choose your font size. You can adjust the font size with a Text Scaling slider from this page.

See if that works.

You’ve been around a while so I will skip the obvious question and save the humor for another time.

Yes, I am and it’s dang annoying! This happened once before and a nice person posted a solution that worked great until a couple of weeks ago. I have searched and can’t find that thread. I hope someone nice posts a solution. Trust me I will copy and save it this time!

I use Chrome and it works fine. Perhaps your settings were somehow changed?

Try reinstalling using a new download? But why use chromium-based Chrome? Vivaldi is the best chromium-based browser IMO.

As a now former FireFox user I can no longer recommend FF. I had used it for years and found it fast and reliable. However sometime early this year the programmers started fooking around with many things and FF is now almost unusable. First they started messing around with YouTube loads adding many seconds to the access time before even trying to load a web page. Next they started sub-dividing the internal processes into individual tasks. It is now commonplace to activate FF, load one page, and find 30-40 FF processes gobbling up your memory and CPU time. It totally suks now.

Yes I am having the same issue on my Samsung S10 cell phone with Chrome. It has been updated but same issue as before.
Vivaldi has the same issue as it uses Chrome code.

FreeRepublc should be using this code below for font size for cell phone / smaller viewports. I do not see it in the code. I removed the < > carets:

meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1”

I had to switch to Firefox.
