Adjusting global font size doesn't help

Adjusting global font size doesn't affect the size of the fonts in the menu in tahr-6.0.5.

It seems to affect the size of the fonts everywhere, except for the menus. As I said before the size of the fonts in the menus make almost unusable for me.

Fox News videos are playing

I followed the advice of watchdog and can see the Fox News videos on the
palemoon-26.5.0-p4-glibc219tweak browser.

I did not use the Npapi flashplayer - the browser worked as it was downloaded.

Thank you very much for your help watchdog!
