317781 2005-01-25 05:23:00 In Firefox the web page text size can be adjusted via View>Text Size, but this reverts to Normal size after reboot etc.

How can I get a larger text size to 'stick' for a sight-impaired person?

Any hints appreciated.

317782 2005-01-25 05:50:00 I use a plugin called "TextZoom" (available from www.cosmicat.com/ (http:)) - which I use to shrink text down automagically. It's a nifty extension which will allow you to shrink/enlarge the default firefox text by any percentage which you specify.

The plugin used to be available on the Firefox Extensions'n'Themes page however I can't seem to find it there anymore

317783 2005-01-25 06:27:00 Thanks - but this extension doesn't want to install in FF v1.0

Compatible with Mozilla Firefox 0.9 and 1.0PR.
