| 701768 | 2008-09-01 09:09:00 | Hi Wainuitech..FF was set to tim. new rom. font 12 (because I had tried this change earlier). I have now pt it back to 16, made pages larger still..Went to a bank site, Pages twice the size they should be..Closed. Opened IE, went to the same bank site,, pages all quite normal. Last week I d/l the latest ver of FF. Could this be the problem??? It is a Firefox problem for sure. It is not exactly the super browser that it is frequently promoted as. The latest version seems to have its share of problems. I would suggest you uninstall Firefox and reinstall it and it will probably fix whatever is causing the problem. Personally I think you would be better off using IE |

| 701769 | 2008-09-01 09:11:00 | Okay - Think I found the problem - have a look at This FF forum (support.mozilla.com) - scroll down till you find the post by Quarantine - some suggestions there. Edited: where its got a link in Quarantine's post "This Thread" read that as well - this here from that page may also be of interest. I tried Mikhail's solution and it worked perfectly. Thanks, Mikhail. Just a note to say that the option was "New", rather than "Create" when I right-clicked in the about:config window. Also, I did not have to restart Firefox; the change took effect immediately. FYI, I am running Windows XP SP3 and have Windows text size set to 155% (149dpi). Edited 2 - Here is what they are meaning Screen shot (www.imagef1.net.nz) |

| 701770 | 2008-09-01 11:27:00 | FF3 has a NEW zoom feature which zooms the whole page (a true zoom), fonts and pictures, if you zoom a page accidentally by holding Ctrl and rotating mouse wheel for instance, easy to do, then the next time you go to the site Firefox will remember your last zoom settings for the site. Note: this is a feature NOT a bug. |

| 701775 | 2008-09-02 00:51:00 | Hi Everyone that helped.. I deleted MOZ. and then installed it from the PC World disc,,still too large. Then deleted it again and installed it from their web site. Again too large.Deleted it.Went to bed. This morn. read the f1 forums, installed MOZ from the cd, all fine, I think it was the "press ctrl and revolve the mouse wheel" that was causing all the problems. |

| 701776 | 2008-09-02 01:30:00 | CTRL+Mousewheel is the zoom control in most browsers.... so if this was the issue, CTRL+0 would have fixed your problem, which you say it didn't. | Erayd (23) | ||

X 2 Agree - if you looked at the post I put, #12 - the problem is not uncommon, if it were the CTRL+0 then there must be a lot of people hitting that key combo. One possible solution was in the link as well - simply put its a bug in FF3. |
