I must have pressed the wrong button. The size of the text used to stay the same size day after day. Now for some reason I have to adjust it all the time and for each website. What needs to be done so it constantly stays the same size day after day.

Thanks, Robert

Greetings, I corrected the issue I was having. Apparently I had checked the box " site preference " under the " clear all history " and it was cancelling out the size of the page. Since unchecking it, everything is back to how I like it. Much obliged for your guidance, I appreciate it.

Thanks all, Robert

You may have accidentally zoomed web page(s). Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • View -> Zoom -> Reset (Ctrl+0/Command+0 (zero))

Greetings cor-el and thanks for your reply. I reset all the pages that somehow shrunk in size. When I logged back in a few hours later, many of the pages had reverted back to 100% instead of what I would prefer, which is 170%.

Any other ideas ???

Much obliged, Robert

If you prefer a page zoom that isn't default then you will need to use an extension.

You can look at extensions like Zoom Page WE and NoSquint Plus to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
