Firefox uses a weird size for pages, Google and Proboards for one

Hard Drive C: · 07-12-2007, 04:30 PM

It happened after I accidentally pressed some keys on the keyboard. Now I have no idea how to change it back. Help?

Hello Hard Drive C:

I cant see anything wrong with the google picture, it looks the exact same as mine?.

, mines looks like that in Internet explore and Firefox. What is the problem in the second picture?

Do you mean that the font and sizes are different to what they normally were?

If that's the case, they can easily be changed in the content section.

Tools->Options->Contents tab. I think the default is Times New Roman, Size 16. (That's what I've got anyways)

Thanks Jack, I think that was the problem. Whatever I did, I somehow changed the size. You're a life saver!

You probably pressed Ctrl+-. Pressing Ctrl++ would've reset that to just fine.

you're welcome.

Another way you can change the size of the font is by holding down the ctrl key and scrolling up and down. This has the same effect as the keys kalim mentioned

Not always.

The last one you mention varies from person to person and depends on your key designations. For instance, it won't work on mine but will work for some. Some key controls work for all, like those Mozilla usually recommend. Many do not.

Like if I press Alt+` I get all the Fx tabs open in thumbnails across my screen. I bet you don't.

I was only stating that for the typical, standard controls. (...

well, typical for me any ways, I thought it's be the same for most people)

**Kalim** · 07-14-2007, 04:12 AM

It's appreciated.

I just thought I'd let you know that there's two bands of controls: one band that works for all and one band which works for some.

Most Fx controls which work for all are listed here: http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/keyboard
