Title: Dell touchpad
Post by: mike0137 on August 01, 2013, 05:23:45 AM

Sometimes I use just the touchpad instead of a mouse. Twice now, bookmarked pages that I'm viewing have suddenly shrunk in size (fonts, graphics, everything). The pad settings are all in the middle range. I'd like to know how to undo this. Running Windows 7, Dell laptop, Firefox.
Thanks

Your touchpad probably features a "Pinch-to-zoom" feature, similar to that on smartphones.  You should be able to use this gesture to zoom back into the page.  Alternatively you can press Ctrl and '+' to zoom in and Ctrl and '-' to zoom out.

Or, press Ctrl + 0 (the number) to reset your zoom level, sometimes easier than zooming in our out multiple times.
