CASE 1: NOT SCALING
  1. Open the "Firefox" application, and observe the current size of buttons and the start web-page.
  2. Close the "Firefox" application.

  3. In the "System Settings" application, go to the "Screen Display" section.
  4. Set the "Scale for menus and title bars" option to 1.38.
  5. Open the "Firefox" application, and observe that the current size of buttons and the start web-page has not been scaled.

CASE 2: SCALING TOO MUCH
  1. Open the "Firefox" application.
  2. Go to the "Tools --> Add-ons" menu.
  3. In the "Get Add-Ons" tab, search for the "Zoom Page" add-on and install it.

  4. In the "Extensions" tab, click on the "Zoom Page" add-on preferences button.
  5. In the "Zoom Levels" tab, set the "Default Zoom Level (%)" option box to "150".
  6. Go to the Firefox start page, and observe that the web-page sized has been scaled a 150%.

  7. Go to the "Tools --> Add-ons" menu.
  8. In the "Extensions" tab, click on the "Zoom Page" add-on preferences button.
  9. In the "Zoom Levels" tab, set the "Default Zoom Level (%)" option box to "100".
