Ctrl + : Larger.
Ctrl 0 : Default.

And Readable rocks too.

I wonder why those addons don’t have a good keyboard shortcut (along with the icon) to make things easier. Or do they? Do you think this would at least partially solve the issue?

Could you recommend such a add on for firefox? There is already a text-to-speech toolbar for IE ( http://www.panopreter.com ), it reads aloud naturally and clearly on Windows 7.

Thank you!

Hell, if you can’t see the texts in the first place .. you sure as hell wont be able to see the little magnifier icons!

C’mon somebody .. create a tool that will override Firefox’s pathetic Ctrl +scroll wheel zoom settings!

FORGET your ‘little magnifying glasses’!
They’re lame and old school as well as .. aggravating, pathetic and ‘annoying as hell’!
(Did I say annoying?)
