Improving Slashdot.org Legibility on Firefox



Introduction

Call me old but I find the default fonts on Slashdot to be too small for comfort.

Here I describe how to fix it on Firefox.


The Fix

The fix is straight forward. You have to edit userContent-example.css found under:
~/.mozilla/firefox/*/chrome/.

This is what you have to add to that file:

/* Enlarge fonts on Slashdot */

@-moz-document domain("slashdot.org") 
{ div[class="commentBody"], div[class="title"], div[class="intro"]
{ font-size: 12pt !important; }}


/* Blockquotes in italic */

@-moz-document domain("slashdot.org") 
{ div[class="quote"]
{ font-style: italic !important; }}


Once you've done that, save the file in the same directory, as userContent.css. Then restart Firefox and you should now have larger fonts.
