im1knight Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 umm...for some random reasons today, i opened my computer today after hurricane IKE is gone and power returned, and i found some webpages are zoomed out a lot. Making the text extremely small to read... But i opened the same webpage on IE7, and nothing happened, the font size is normal. so..uh...idk what's the problem here..is there a zoom in button on firefox or anyway to fix this?

Sbrideau Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Hmm, you can either press ctrl and move the mousewheel while doing so, or press ctrl+0. The fact that it's not doing it on all pages is odd to me though and probably means that what I mentionned is just a temporary fix. I'll think about that.

sloter Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Could do what sbrideau2000 or try restarting Firefox and creating a new session. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSBDavid Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 ctrl + or ctrl - should increase/decrease the size. [software Engineer] - [Ability Bar Suggestion] - [Gaming Enthusiast] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. V. Devnull Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 im1knight, clear your browser cache and then try those pages again. It sounds to me like the css for those pages got damaged and a new copy wasn't downloaded. :-k ~Mr. D. V. Devnull and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people... And talks in 3rd person for the timebeing due to how insane they are... Sometimes even to themself.)

D. V. Devnull Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Just an odd end to clean up here... Or it could be something else. LOL :P ... I know... However, I would figure they would post back if it didn't work, at which point I would start thinking of other possibilities as to what's going on. :geek: ~D. V.

im1knight Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 um...for some reason this happens very randomly... I tried what you said and tried reinstall firefox, but the problem still exists ( not always) it's really weird, sometimes, when i'm reading a post with some pictures in it, when the picture opens up, the text are zoomed out immediately, some times its just plain text, and when i scroll the page down with my mouse ( without any keyboard action) the page zoom out.....but sometimes this problem doesnt exist. so i'm all confused, this thing never happened to me before.

In that case, try making sure your keyboard keys are not stuck while scrolling. (I get the impression that this is what is happening, that your modifier keys are getting stuck, causing what you're seeing, but I could be wrong.) ~D. V.

I guess it could be anything, he did jsut get nailed by a hurricane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is jsut throwing ideas out on the table. You should be thankful for every bit of advice you get. I would tend to say that it is probally not the problem but it doesn't hurt to check. What version of Firefox are you running? Have you tried disabling all add ons and then trying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
