NoSquint – For Firefox users who adjust a sites text size
We’ve all seen ‘em. Websites with fonts set at a ridiculous default size making it irritating to spend any time reading through content without manually increasing the font size with a browser. Fortunately, for anyone who frequents a website with small text, there is a convenient Firefox extension known as NoSquint which will remember what sites required manual resizing.
Are you always changing the text zoom level when you open a new browser window? Do you find some sites you visit have impossibly small fonts and you are constantly changing your text zoom back and forth as you visit different sites?
NoSquint is a Firefox extension that allows you to adjust the default text zoom level, which is very useful if you have a small display or run at a very high resolution. NoSquint also remembers the zoom level per site (though you can disable that).
You can grab the NoSquint extension for yourself - make sure that Firefox is installed otherwise you’ll scratch your head wondering why you’re not getting the results you expect.
you can enable a default text size I thought…
I just use the Ctrl+MouseWheel. Keeping a page zoom wouldn’t help because when I’m drunk posting, I have it zoomed to 3 or 4 words per page, which is pretty useless the rest of the time. (Yes, sadly, there is a rest of the time)
yea I use the Ctrl+MouseWheel technique myself, but I could have sworn there is a setting buried in about:config that lets you set a default text size.
font.size.fixed. etc.
No plug in needed… View > Page Style > No Page Style.
Can’t see that size? Go into options, adjust the defaults ;-)
