Many people spend most of their working time at the computer, and we often forget that when working for a long time in front of a monitor, the eyes are the first to receive the main load. Experts say that the optimal distance of the eyes from the monitor is in the range of thirty to fifty-five centimeters, and in no case should you squint. If, at a given distance, the text of Internet resources is difficult for you to see, or by the end of the day you are unable to understand it well, then it is better to increase the scale of the page or the text itself, rather than “stick your nose” at the monitor screen. We will discuss how to do this below.

How to zoom in on a page in Mozilla

There are several options for changing the scale of displayed information on web resources. Let's look at the available options.

To zoom in on a page to improve readability using the Firefox menu, you must:

Launch the browser, open the menu (an icon with three horizontal lines located one below the other, in the upper right corner of the window). At the very top of the menu window you can see a panel for controlling the scale. Click on the plus sign, the scale increases, on the minus sign, it decreases accordingly. The percentages in the middle show the size of the displayed objects on the Internet portal. By clicking on these numbers, the size will return to the standard one hundred percent.

You can also see the current zoom level on the top right side, next to the address bar.

To change the page scale using keyboard shortcuts, you need to, while on a specific website, press and hold the “Ctrl” key and simultaneously press the “+” button on the keyboard of a personal computer to increase the page size, the “-” button to decrease it, and the number "0" will reset its value to the default. Also, instead of the “plus” and “minus” buttons, you can use the wheel on a computer mouse, rotating it forward, while pressing the “Ctrl” button you will zoom in, back, and out.

The Mozilla browser also has a function for setting the minimum font for the text part of an Internet site. When you open a web page, Firefox converts the text size to within the minimum size you set. In order to set the minimum text size, you must follow the instructions in the next picture below.
