text size in Firefox

April 16th, 2008

Sparrow was commenting about the text size in her new install of Firefox.

To over come this problem is done by holding down the “Ctrl” key and then pressing the plus sign “+” which enlarges the text, to make text smaller use the “-” (minus) key.

A faster and easier way is to go here for No Squint ,a plugin to change text in Firefox

Install version 1.01. NOTE: ver 101 is not for Firefox 3.0
After installation you will have to restart Firefox then you should see a Blue A at the bottom right of Firefox.

Step 2: Click on “View, Toolbars, Customize which will open a small box showing icons you can drag to the toolbar.
Look for the blue A and drag it close to the area where you type in a web address, or anywhere you feel comfortable.

Now when you get to a site where the text is small click on the Big A to enlarge , also the small A reduces the text size.
