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).
