7 years ago Thank you for your feedback. I am near-sighted, perhaps in more than one way! (Seriously, I normally wear glasses.)
In my experience, Mozilla made the fonts in the suggestions larger when they changed the format from two lines to single line listings in Firefox 48. I purposely tried to keep the size closer to the size used in earlier versions of Firefox using _Simple White X_. I understand that may not be true for all platforms and if so I will need to fix it. There may be an extension or two that can help making the fonts larger. But you can change the size directly in your profile. I will explain how.
First, you should be aware you can apply changes to the styles used in web pages and Firefox's interface easily with _Stylish_. You may create a new style with the following code:
#urlbar {
font-size: 14px;
/* The base size for the text in the location bar.
The default is 12px in my platform. */
}
.autocomplete-richlistitem {
font-size: 13px;
/* The base (smaller) size for the suggestions (for URLs, etc.).
The default is 12px in my platform. */
}
.ac-title {
font-size: 1.07em !important;
/* The size for suggestion titles. The default is 1.06em, which
makes it proportionally larger than the basis size. */
}Because this is processed after normal code, you may omit the !important clause. You may also omit all comments between and including the delimiters /* and */. Please take note there should be no space between the values and their units. Note the size for the suggestion titles is expressed in proportional units, which are taken over the base size for the suggestions (e.g., the size use for the URLs). You may state that size in other units, e.g., 14px or 3.7mm. I do not recommend using sizes over 16px for any of the values.
You may have Firefox use the code without using _Stylish_ by creating a chrome/userChrome.css file in your profile. For this, enter about:profiles in location bar the of Firefox 46 or later. In your working profile (probably default) press the Show Folder button for the Root Directory. Inside your profile's root directory open the folder named chrome (if it is missing, create it first!). In the chrome folder, create a simple text file named userChrome.css containing the code listed above, or append the code to the file if it exists. You may not omit the !important clause this time but you may omit all comments. That is because this code is processed before the code in the theme.
Please note the code will be in effect with other themes. However the code could be overridden by code from other extensions or themes (probably not the code with the !important clause). Note I presume your problem is not due to another extension.

P.S. There are differences in what I can see in my system and yours, e.g., there are font differences. The base/smaller size for the suggestions should be as large as the default size in the address bar. Your images suggest this is not true in your system. I need to make sure the theme does not apply other rules for using a mac instead of a Windows platform.
P.P.S. If the code fails for some reason. Please try including the !important clause after the font size values where it is missing.
P.P.P.S. I really need to see how the theme works in non Windows 8 platforms to fix any potential problems. Thank you for the images. Now I know I may need to fix the search glass, the Switch to Tab, and perhaps other icons in highlighted items (I may be missing to invert the images).

To whom this may concern,
I currently use MAC OS, FireFox 48.0.1 along with the Simple White theme & I notice a day ago, the address bar drop down menu fonts has all been made smaller, wondering if there is anyway to make the address bar drop down menu fonts bigger or as it was in the previous versions?
I already have a short sight vision & wear glasses by having the font size smaller than previous versions is current a big problem for me at the moment.
On the same day I also asked mozilla for help, they suggested me to add-on "Stylish" which can help fix the problem.
In a way it does, but afterwards in the address bar drop down menu after the titles of the websites the links addresses text are still too small. I tried hard to make it bigger, but no dice.
To provide a better explanation below are screen caps of my address bar drop down menu.
First is where all the text in the drop down menu bar are too small, without using "Stylish" Second, is after I added "Stylish" according to the advice mozilla told me to do & the titles of the websites the links addresses text are still too small.
Sorry, if my explanation on the matter is not clear, but help on this matter would be appreciated alot, Jessica
