Firefox Tip - Text Size

[threeringedmoon]

Another not particularly obvious feature of Firefox is the ability to use Ctrl and the plus and minus keys from the numeric keypad to make the text bigger (in the case of Ctrl-+) or smaller (in the case of Ctrl--). This is probably the feature I miss the most when using Internet Explorer, because I don't usually even notice when I resize the text at a site. This tip only works for text, not images.

You can also use the pulldown menu View->Text Size->Increase or View->Text Size->Decrease, but the Ctrl keys are much faster.

What you said. When Meridel was still in high school, the IT folks were very much into Linux. But their standard font tended to be something I could hardly read. Welcome to the aging process.

There is also a Firefox extension that seems to magnify everything on the screen--a separate item from the Ctrl-+.
