- Rated 5 out of 5by Kim Aku, 3 years agoThe most useful extension I have ever used. Saves constant zooming in and out of web pages to read small faint fonts. Wonderfully customisabe, easy to use and light on resources. Many thanks to very capable dev.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Pierre, 4 years agoIt's challenging reading grey font on a white background, and this is the best solution I've found so far. Looking forward to testing it out thoroughly. Curiously, the only page it hasn't worked on so far is the mozilla add ons page (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/font-contrast-fix). Perhaps I'm doing something wrong?

- Rated 5 out of 5by Crumb, 4 years agoThis addon makes reading much easier, I appreciate it. A small improvement would be welcome: when activated, it does not affect the text of unfolded comments in livejournal.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15129930, 4 years agoCan Someone explain what is the difference between Increase font (%) and Threshold (px)?
Developer response
posted 4 years agoThe first increases fonts by a given percentage. The second determines the maximum font size the percentage applies to. E.g. with a threshold of 12 px, only fonts that are 12 pixels or below get enlarged. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15056220, 5 years agoI finally gave in and switched to Firefox Quantum as my default browser, and am grateful to Fushko for Font Contrast. Chromium (Chrome minus Google elements) has a similar High Contrast extension, but it affects all page elements, ruining most images. This extension is well-designed, easy to configure, and -- understanding that this can be a complex feature -- I'm glad to see that the developer is very responsive to user feedback.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12812696, 5 years agoI could be mistaken, but I think the "Form Border" option is only available via the options button in the address bar (popup panel). It's missing when accessing the settings through the addon manager. I think I'm using the latest version of the extension. My machine runs Firefox 56.0.2 64-bit on Windows 7 64-bit platform. The issue could be with my outdated version of Firefox - which I deliberately don't want to upgrade. Aside from that, this extension is absolutely awesome! Love the toggle on/off option.
UPDATE 07/04/2020:
This is a second review unrelated to my first. I wanted to make a suggestion. In the options, the word "dims" is a little ambiguous. I wonder if you might change the text of your hover help tip for "ADVANCED MODE" to read: "Darkens text to a deeper shade of its color instead of black"? then maybe label the "BRIGHTNESS %" option below "DARKNESS %" instead? Maybe it's just me, but using "DIMS" in tandem with "BRIGHTNESS" is perplexing. Love the addon otherwise!Developer response
posted 5 years agoYou are right, "form border" is intentionally missing from the global options. The reason is because the feature is experimental and doesn't work as well as I'd like. But seeing how you find it useful, I'll add it to the global options for the next release. - Rated 5 out of 5by Solar Scientist Frederick Ermlich, 5 years agoI trust this developer. He or she was thoughtful and communicated with users. Also, this is simple, robust work. It made text appear black instead of greyed out, like this page requires. Which is stupid. Therefore, I'd bet it's a smartphone stupidity thing.
It seems you have to click the icon on each page opened, which is fine. Firefox 71.0 64 bit.Developer response
posted 5 years agoThank you. You don't have to click the icon everytime, in the options you can check "Activate on all websites". - Rated 3 out of 5by onolox, 5 years agoGood extension, but needs more refinement in performance area. It freezes FF for several seconds, turns pages loading very slow. Blacken is better for now.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15447997, 5 years agoGreat addon for blurry Windows 10, 5 stars absolutely!
- Rated 5 out of 5by andrewrask, 5 years agoWonderful for old eyes. Dramatic increase in text darkening. Also can adjust font size, boldness, more within Firefox sourced websites. Much needed with current crop of default fine, light print operating systems.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15361627, 5 years agoI sometimes browse or read on an e-ink tablet screen, which feels nicer for my eyes especially for long form reading. Unfortunately sometimes the font uses a lighter gray color and so is harder to read even if on a white background. That's where this extension helps. It makes the page text much easier to read by bolding it among other things. Very useful on a screen type where more contrast is welcome. Thanks!

- Rated 5 out of 5by tplaccnt, 5 years agov1.5.3 now very useful, eases reading.
settings export/import would be a nice option. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14357981, 5 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by perlancar, 5 years agoNice little add-on, but a bit limited. Can only target grey text and not less-contrast text of other colors. Does not deal with text that are too small, or link colors. I'd suggest the "Text Legibility" addon instead.
