How do I increase the size of text? I was able to do this easily by zooming the page when I was using Internet Explorer. Thanks

Hold down the control key and use the scroll-wheel on your mouse. Scrolling up will increase the font size, down will decrease. Alternatively, you can use the main menu and click View->Zoom to set the zoom level. If you don't have your main menu turned on in Firefox 4, you can turn it on by selecting the Firefox menu in the top left of your Firefox window, then Options and check "Menu Bar".
