Chosen solution

Try zooming in (CTRL"+") until the print is big enough. Firefox will remember next time you visit facebook.

I zoomed in using ctrl+ o ( zero ). Now it's too big, and I can't zoom back out using ctrl and the plus sign. :(

If it is too big then you need to zoom out with Ctr and minus(-) (Ctrl and plus(+) zooms in further)

Ctrl and zero (0) should reset the zoom if you previously had zoomed in (or out).

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.

Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
