Resize Text in Firefox 3 Without Changing The Size of Images
When you resize text on a web page, Firefox 3 will automatically resize all the images present on that page in the same proportion. So if you increase the size of text, images get bigger and vice versa.
While image resizing function in Firefox is very smooth, the problem comes when images include text (they will look blurred) or when images are too big already - zooming will then put the image out of the browser boundaries which is inconvenient.
Fortunately, it is very easy to disable automatic image resizing in Firefox. Go to View -> Zoom and check "Zoom Text Only".
Extra Tip: To reset all the text and images to their default sizes, press the hotkey Ctrl+0 (Zero).

i found a lot of problem with this issue.
What I find very nice about the zooming feature is that FF remembers the zoom level that you had set for a given site, and if you load that site again, it will automatically adjust the zoom to that level.
I like this feature, it doen’t exists in IE7.0. because not having this fecility IE7 irritates me.
By the way Firefox also by default offers one more good shortcut F7. If you press down arrow in any browser entire page will be scroll down but by using this shortcut key F7 you can walk through the page using cursor.
Thanks for the Tip Amit.

Thanks Amit! Could you imagine…toady was the very first time I pressed ‘ctrl and +’ at the same time to get larger text in Firefox…I am getting older, but letters are getting smaller and smaller
What’s driving me nuts is they reversed the direction on the mouse. Scroll Up to Increase Size/Scroll Down to Decrease Size. It used to be the opposite! Why do they do this? Shouldn’t it match Firefox2?
Ah it was easy to make Firefox resize text only, thanks.
