My cat walked across the keyboard and managed to shrink what I look at when I go to one specific web site. This site shows at about a 40% or less aspect. It happens only in firefox not in Internet explorer. It doesn’t happen on any other web site. I can not figure out what he stepped on to make this happen and I do not want to just start randomly hitting keys. Does anyone have any suggestions?
