Hi,

I just want to start this off by saying I am NOT computer literate- I hate MS Office, don't use Photoshop, etc. etc. etc. I just have a computer because I need one (and because I need to fulfill a quota of nude women and internets spaceships. srs bsns.)

So, I was messing around with the touchpad on my Asus G74 and it zoomed way out and screwed up an entire webpage for me- tried re-loading the page, tried restarting Firefox, etc. It was some sort of key combination that did it (was typing a response in a forum when it happened, think I accidentally hit the scrolling part of the touchpad, the spacebar, ???) and IDK how to fix it.

Halp please? Iunno what I did.

Thanks.

No, the rest of FF is fine, just that one website that I zoomed way out on by mistake. Dunno how to fix it.

Also, I haven't used IE in YEARS. lol.

you could try this on your web browser.

CTRL (hold) (another key -/+)

CTRL + (-) (zoom out)
CTRL + (+) (zoom in)

-/+ buttons are right next to your backspace key, next to the row of 1234567890 keys. CTRL is by your spacebar ofc.

easy zoom in and out methods.

Holding ctrl and scrolling the mousewheel (or equivalent) has this effect in firefox. BLACK-STAR's solution should've worked though

In FireFox, do this:
CTRL + 0

that is CTRL+(zero). that resets FireFox's browser view to default. This should really work.

Try holding Ctrl and run your finger over touchpad. If that doesn't do it, try this:

Tools > Options > Privacy
- History Menu > Settings
- Settings for Clearing History - check Site Preferences under Data and hit Okay

Reload the page.

Install WUBI and forget about windows?

or even better, make a bootable pendrive with a Linux kernel.

CTRL + mouse wheel up , zooms in , in FireFox too

To be, or not to be, that's the question.
