If they want me to endorse it, or even just to read it, then they certainly need to change it into something readable first!

I started to reply and someone beat me to it.

The keyboard shortcut for increase font size is CTRL++ (control plus) and to bump fonts down use CTRL+- (control minus).

While on the topic of Mozilla shortcuts, I find the Google highlight search handy. Goto Edit>Preferences>Navigator>Internet Search and set your Default Search Engine to Google. Anytime you want to search for something in a web page, highlight the text and right click, then select search.

There's lots of cool, useful features in Mozilla.

I find the minimum font size preference very handy. It means I never have to worry about this problem. It would be useful if other programs, e.g. Evolution, had this feature.

It's still my screen and my computer. One thing I hate with Mozilla these days is the fact that I am forced to do repeated shrink or expand operations every time I go to a new web site these days, just to be able to read it. And Mozilla seems to have no way to control fontSizeIncrement. And doesn/t respect Xdefaults.

Frankly, it makes old NetScape4 more pleasant in comparison. And then someone like these folks manage to figure out how to screw that up!
