    How do you adjust the default size of a browser/webpage?

    Hello. I just got a Sony VPCF115FM. I was wondering if there is a setting for the browser/webpage where it opens up and the size is what I prefer. Meaning that I don't have to keep using "Ctrl +" to enlarge the page. Thanks in advance.

    I use Mozilla Firefox with the NoSquint add-on.

    Unfortunately, Firefox for Windows doesn't honour the system DPI settings, like it does for Linux.

    To work around this, in Firefox Preferences, Content tab, "Fonts & Colors" section, hit "Advanced" and set a reasonable minimum font size. The size listed isn't in points, but "what point size it would have been if your display was 96 dpi". So bump it up. Feel free to edit the default size to your liking too.

    I use default 17, minimum 15 -- your preference might be different.
