type font too large on website

On one website, I somehow managed to enlarge the type font or zoom in so that the sides are cropped. In the past, I've minimized the page images and type fonts and only resolved it by blowing out Firefox and reinstalling it. This is on my laptop (Windows 7) and I think it may have something to do with letting my finger rest on the touchpad when I hit the right/left click button.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.

Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
