You can change these settings via about:config or in prefs.js (keys below are in prefs.js format). If editing prefs.js make sure the browser is closed when editing.

To set minimum fonts size:
user_pref("font.min-size.fixed.x-western", 17);
user_pref("font.min-size.variable.x-western", 17);

These are for non css sites (I think):
user_pref("font.size.variable.x-western", 18);
user_pref("font.size.fixed.x-western", 18);

To change the default font (fonts must be installed in .fonts):
user_pref("font.default.x-western", "sans-serif");
user_pref("font.name.sans-serif.x-western", "Arial");

I think I have ad blocking with css figured out:
http://floppymoose.com has a good file (doesn't get everything though). I prefer this to a hosts file (good one at http://everythingisnt.com/hosts.html) and last on the list for me is using privoxy.

Save the file userContent.css to /home/user/.mozilla/microb/chrome/userContent.css to enable blocking with that file.

Thanks very much!

Now I still need settings to change the key mappings: I like to have the "up" key mapped to "page up" and so on, left key to "scroll left".

Set snav.enabled to false to get dpad to scroll window. Only one line at a time so not page up / page down but a start.

I wasn't able to find these "x-western" prefs, but I did find some similar ones (font.min-size.fixed.ja). i changed all of them to be 16 (this was what I was running on Opera and it was satisfactory) but after a reboot, nothing looks different. Definetly not at 16 font.

Ideas? Do I need to install some more fonts in home/user/.fonts, set as default, then increase those font sizes?

These are the japanese font sizes.

Also a note: Rebooting is a stupid Windows concept. Not necessary on Unix in 90% of all cases. Just restart the application.

Go to about:config and make the changes there to see them reflected instantly.
That's what I did. I find between 20 and 25 to be most readable at a comfortable distance without having to jam the tablet into your face.

Now the only thing we need to "fix" is the d-pad function with the keyboard popping up all the time when you don't have the toolbar on-screen in full-screen mode.

Also, take a look at the gtkmozembed.mscroll.step setting in about:config and see if that speeds up/slows down the scrolling. Currently the default is 5.
