Changing font size in firefox



Hi,

I know you can use the CTRL + / CTRL - to increase and decrease the font size.  It only seems to work with HTML and XML text though, not java or flash.

Is the problem that you need it to work with a mouse gesture?  OR are the keyboard shortcuts OK?

I think there is, but I think you're talking about gestures in a different
context.  I was referring to the gestures Firefox extension.  Those are
gestures I want.

I think you're referring to touch-pad gestures.  My laptop broke a long time
ago, and I haven't bothered trying to get it repaired, so I don't mess around
with those much anymore.  However, you may find this page useful:

Check the TouchpadOff option...
