      All of a sudden, last update, every window opens in huge (~50 pitch) letters each of which virtually covers an entire screen page>. When I move the cursor up to the address block, I see approx. four (4) emojis, the meaning of which I know nothing about, so I cannot click on something that I know nothing about.
      The word "breadcrumbs" appears on the screen on the left side (next to the sidebar), and I have no idea what that means anyway, so I don't know if it has anything to do with the problem, hence I am including it anyway.
      How can I get rid of these giant, meaningless (to me letters, words, etc. and get back to a simple screen. Nothing in all of those steps has done anything but create extra work for me and I really don't have hours to wonder around computer stuff I know nothing about, I just want to get rid of giant useless letters that are rendering Opera totally useless for me. I will up front admit that I am simply a user of computers, and even then reluctantly, but I have no ideas why these changes have occurred, nor how to rid myself of the problem so that I can go back to using Opera as my primary site.

        @explengineer Text size can be changed in the menu or with the keyboard. Emoji on tabs can be disabled in settings and has been out for a couple of months now.

        Breadcrumbs is pieces of the URL and is only active if you hold down a modifier key while the mouse is over the address.

        Other issues ... a screenshot would help.

          @sgunhouse Thank you, but I am just as baffled as before. Could you please just help out an old country doctor that doesn't understand much of this other than I updated Opera and now I can't use the individual windows because the font is too big.
          Yes, I know that it can be changed in the menu or with the keyboard except I don't know how to do it on either the menu or the keyboard. Could you please just tell me, step by step (with thing are actually where they seem they should be) how to change that oversized page text front in the menu and on the keyboard, as well as how to disable those emoji's.
          Sorry for shouting, but but I need to some step by step directions rather than being told where it can be done. It is just frustrating when I have no idea what to do when I get there.

            @explengineer Did you try Ctrl 0?

              @explengineer If you can't tell in Leo's post, that's number 0 not letter O. Ctrl-O is reset zoom, or if single key shortcuts are enabled you can also use *.

              Once you get the font back to normal, head to Settings and type emoji in the search box - the setting for tab emoji will be highlighted, just toggle the slider at the right to disable it.

              I'll look through your post and see if I missed anything, on my tablet I can't see it while replying.
