Most web browsers have some features to change the layout of the web browser and some elements on the websites that get loaded. This includes changing the font sizes of the pages that are visited which is very helpful for users who prefer or require the font sizes of the websites to be bigger. What’s not changing are on the other hand the web browser controls including the address bar of the web browser. Users who have difficulties reading text in the normal font size on websites will surely have troubles reading the text in the address bar of the web browser as well.
Firefox users now have an option to increase the Firefox address bar font size; The Firefox add-on Make Address Bar Font Size Bigger changes the default text size of the address bar making it bigger so that it becomes easier to read for users with troubles reading the normal address bar text.
The text size of the address bar text increases quite a bit after the installation of the add-on, probably two or even three times the original size. This on the other hand means that there is less space to display address bar text in the Firefox address bar which usually is only a problem for long urls.
Make Address Bar Font Size Bigger can be downloaded directly from the Mozilla Firefox add-on repository. It is compatible with all Firefox 3.5+ releases.

My stylish theme – http://userstyles.org/styles/25747 has more functionalities. It can change the font, font size of both address-bar and status bar :)
The “Make Address Bar Font Size Bigger” extension is not like stylish. Stylish is a addon that adds code editor for editing css in firefox… it requires that you know CSS and dom inspecting. My plugin requires No need to know CSS or any hand coding to style the font-size, like other extensions! Just Install and Enjoy!

Dear Jonathan,
Stylish is an addon that adds code editor for editing css in firefox…thats fine….but check the stylish script http://userstyles.org/styles/25747 after installing stylish. Seems like you are not aware of “greasemonkey and stylish” scripts in firefox. The scripts are very simple and you can just install and see the change. I have updated my script for changing the fonts of tabs too…I am not against your add-on, but just saying that, the script has more functionalities.
This add-on suck,is to big font.
you can toggle it on and off.. its designed for bigger monitors… if you dont like it, dont use it.. or better yet make your own extension.. otherwise quit complaining!
