After opening your browser, go to the tools menu and select options. That will bring up another menu. Select the General settings, you will be able to increase the font size. But, I don't know how to do it on a Mac.

Mac users who use the Safari browser just go to View and select "Make text bigger" or on the keyboard use Apple and +.
