+To change the text size of web pages, do any of the following
-Perhaps it is my age, but I hate those web pages that ignore my browser preferences and render large bodies of text in 6 pt fonts. Fortunately, Mozilla comes to the rescue.
+* View -> Text Size -> Increase/Normal/Decrease
+* Ctrl++ (hold the control key and hit the plus key) makes the text larger.
+* Ctrl+- (hold the control key and hit the minus key) makes the text smaller.
+* Ctrl+0 (hold the control key and hit zero) makes the text normal size.
+* Ctrl+scroll mouse wheel
-Choose View > Text Zoom > Larger. You can do the repeatedly until the text is the size you want. To restore the browser to normal display, choose View > Text Zoom > 100%.
+These changes will only change text sizes temporarily. Tools -> Options -> Content -> Fonts & Colors gives you options that will stick.
-There are also keyboard shortcuts:
-CTRL-+ (hold the control key and hit "+") makes the text larger.
-CTRL-- (hold the control key and hit "-") makes the text smaller.
-If you find yourself doing this a lot, you may want to program your mouse wheel (if you have one) to do the same. See illustration at right.:
-Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Mouse wheel.
-Change the modifier key selection to "Control" and click on "Make the text larger and smaller."
-Now you can zoom in and out on text by holding down the control key and rolling your mouse wheel.
