I showed it to my copy editor and he showed it the main editor and now I have to periodically fix their browsers because the site is all bent out of shape. It is amazing how a person can increase a site's size say 20 times, then decrease the font size 23 times, then go into the options to change the default font size, then wonder why the website looks weird and somehow the blame usually falls on the web designer. Plus the reset button doesn't go back to the websites default unless you are very conservative with the way you increase and decrease sizes. To be honest I really hate this feature.

When you zoom, they only manage texts, but not images / flash / others. Anybody know if its possible?

Some pages that were set to a certain zoom level reset themselves to the default zoom level every time I visit them. One such site is news.yahoo.com. Another is tvguide.com. Is there any way I can stop these web sites from reseting my chosen zoom level? I use this feature a lot, but there is one minor problem.

Just goes to show we never stop finding new things to learn. Yep, know all about Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X & Ctrl-V, but I have never come across this one before.

I changed the zoom level of a website, closed Firefox, restarted the web browser afterwards and loaded the page again. The zoom level was still on the changed level. Can it be that firefox stores Zoom levels now? Today I stumbled upon something interesting.

But d zooming work adequately on an LCD monitor? I keep my 20" CRT (running 1660 x 1200 resolution) because I thought that LCD monitors didn't work well if you changed text from the native size.

On the same topic - Does anyone know why when I open Yahoo Mail using FireFox my screen zooms in-and-out, and finally settles on the zoomed in mode. it's easily correctible by clicking "Ctrl-0" but the zooming is annoying. Thanks, Craig Yeah I’m with “Satanicat” – thought everyone knew about this.

It's also applicable to a host of window based applications too. Most applications that have a chat of some kind can have the text up-sized by using ctrl + scroll wheel up.
