Title: Mozilla Firefox
Post by: meganjane on March 15, 2010, 01:52:46 pm: Does anyone else use it? I was a fan until now.

I just installed the update and suddenly everything is tiny! You should see the size of the smilies on this page! I can barely see them! I can make the font larger, so I can see what I'm typing fortunately, but the rest of the page is miniscule.

I tried to use IE, but I'm so used to Adblock I was amazed when I actually saw ads on the page! IE just isn't my style, but now Firefox isn't either..... :-\

Ha just realised it does it automatically anyway - I can't stand the ads you get with everything else - love ad-blocker :'( :'(

Wonder if you can uninstall the update via the Control Panel - Add/Remove programs?

I love Google Chrome - however discovered that some Govt websites aren't supported. So if they don't work I switch back to IE. A frustrating lesson, but now that I know it's easy to solve.

Post by: Purplehat on March 16, 2010, 11:20:39 am: The good part about Firefox is there's usually a solution in the form of addons. :)

I've installed NoSquint on customer's computers, but there's also Zoom toolbar, and probably others. They can (in the settings I believe) make the pictures bigger too - and they usually remember your size preference per website.

NoSquint (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592)

Zoom Toolbar (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6118)

Hope that helps!

did you try holding the control button down and scrolling your mouse up to make it bigger? (i often do it by accident so you may have too ;))

Post by: Depome on March 18, 2010, 04:12:02 am: I installed the update on my desktop and laptop earlier this week and I've had no problems. I would think you've changed a setting somehow Megan, there do seem to be a few ways of changing the font size. I have a sliding zoom button on my keyboard which does crazy things to my screen if I hit it in conjunction with something else, ctrl I think, but dunno because it's always an accident!
