Hi, try changing the zoom level (Ctrl and + key, or Ctrl and - key). More - Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages.

Note: It may be that your NoSquint extension is changing the default operation, if so, either disable it, or look at the settings - Add-ons Manager Ctrl+Shift+A.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

This seems to be working for me. I didn't know to press Control and + or - sign on my keyboard. I was pressing the - sign at the top of my screen. Thanks!

Note that you can set the default zoom value in the NoSquint settings (Options/Preferences). The default full page zoom in NS is 120% and for text zoom only 100%. NoSquint also comes with its own zoom buttons that you can find in the Customize palette in case you haven't found them there yet.

I didn't know about NoSquint. I see that it is an add-on that I don't have. I think my problem has been solved by the previous answer. Thanks anyway.

You do have NoSquint as it shows as an enabled extension in your System Detail list.

  1. NoSquint 2.1.9.1-signed (nosquint@urandom.ca)
  2. Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 2.0 (web2pdfextension@web2pdf.adobedotcom) (Inactive)

You may have forgotten about it.

I found NoSquint in extensions. I would not have looked there if not for your reply. I reset the default to 100%. Thanks!

Curious as to how you could tell that it shows as an enabled extension in my System Detail list.

If you look the sidebar at the right of you first post then you will notice a "More system details" link. If you click this link then you get a pop-up with question details.

Thanks for that info. I didn't notice the sidebar. I have learned several new things from this conversation!
