Hi all,

This morning, I couldn't figure out why a web page I'd just created 
looked huge when I opened it in Firefox. Turns out it opened with a huge 
text size/zoom which it remembered from a previous test.

Coincidentally, Jacob sent an email this morning linking to an article 
about zooming in browsers.

"NoSquint" is mentioned in the article. It is a Firefox plugin which 
does some nice stuff for those of us with failing eyesight. In addition 
it has a zoom level indicator in the browser status bar (thereby 
avoiding problems like I had this morning).
