I had a gadget of some sort that would allow me to set the size of the font as a percentage of the original size. It seems to have disappeared and I want it back. The problem is I don’t remember where I got it or what its name is. Please help. (I know I can increase font size by ctrl+ but the thing I had didn’t make me change from one page to another) ---

Do you mean in Firefox? The addon I recommend is [NoSquint](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/). It will add a little magnifying glass to your status bar that you can right click on and select a percentage. Though you’ll probably want to set the Global settings first, and only use that to tweak pages that need different settings. ---

That’s it; thanks.
