Guess eyes wear out after 75+ erars of use - I often use the "Zoom" settings in Firefox.
I'm not really sure if this is a Fiefox or a Windows XP function, hence the double-post. Is there a way where the "Zoomed" settings can be saved, so that they will be in use any time when I start the programs, rather than having to set them every time? Thanks! _________________________ John _________________________ "God is dead" -- Nietzsche (1844-1900) "Nietzsche is dead" -- God |

I believe the "zoom" feature you spoke of, is a function of Firefox, and *not* part
of the Windows OS. Windows, by default, includes a very crude "Magnifier" utility, that starts as a re-sizeable box that shows a magnified area around where you point your cursor (to start it, type : "magnify.exe" into the "Run" box). This does not sound anything like your "zoom"... Otherwise, Internet Explorer has only a choice of "text sizes" to play with, configured by going to the top menus and choosing : View Text Size ...and choosing from the five available possibilities. == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "johnn" wrote in message ...

Not that it matters to the original poster now, but...
Enter this in your browser address bar. about:config Then make sure this setting is True. browser.zoom.siteSpecific Also, if you don't want pop-up windows to change the zoom of the main window, like when you are looking at a picture that you want magnified more than usual, make sure this setting is False. browser.zoom.updateBackgroundTabs -- johnn ab cd.ca wrote: Guess eyes wear out after 75+ erars of use - I often use the "Zoom" settings in Firefox.
