Why does my resolution (or font size, or whatever) suddenly grow or shrink for a given web site while browsing?

I recently installed Firefox on a new Toshiba notebook, and have had one web site unexpectedly shrink, twice, and another one grow, as I'm browsing. When I leave and come back later, the particular site, but no others, is still affected. Am I inadvertently doing something to cause this?

OK, so I've just learned that I can reset the size change using control-0(zero). But the size up or down is enabled by control-+ or control--, and I'm not doing those -- it seems to be caused by something my fingers are doing on the cursor pad, since I'm not touching the keyboard as I'm browsing. Any thoughts as to what is causing this?

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the Bookmarks Library?

How does one change the font size for folders and/or file lists in the '''Bookmarks''' Library?
Since the upgrade to version 9.0.1 of Firefox, the Bookmarks feature changes are confusing me. They seem to be confusing themselves as well. The list of bookmarks has changed. The font size is so small that my aging eyes cannot read it without fogging the screen with my breath. Some folders are out of alphabetical order (where I know they were previously good), and some are missing altogether (folders to which I frequently add references).
As for missing or deranged files or folders, was there something that I should have done or now need to do to recover those after the upgrade (or before)?
With regard to font size,
1. there is no “Edit Bookmarks” or like option to edit the list in this version
2. the “zoom” option in the “view” list of functions is greyed out when in “Show All Bookmarks” window
3. expanding the browser window has no effect on font size
4. “Preferences” settings for font size has no effect in that window either, including advanced settings
5. “Help” offers none that I can find.
Can any of you Help?!?

Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?

Why does my iphone 3gs screen go white after it goes "to sleep" for the first time after turning it on?
The screen isn't broken because it works after i turn the device off and back on, but after it goes black once, it's only white again.
But it takes the touches although it's only white, because I can answer my phone when I slide my finger on the bottom of the screen, eventhough there in not the button to see.
This is so weird. I have already done everything I can think of that might help. But I cannot think of anything that might be causing it, because nothing has happened to the device.

Let me know if I should start a new discussion instead of opening a new topic here.
My wife's iPhone is the same vintage as mine 3Gs, but has never had the battery problem. Its affliction instead is that it cannot detect WiFi networks unless it is quite close to the source. Often, when my iPhone not only detects but shows a maximum cells connection with a network, hers cannot detect the network at all. In contrast, her iPhone seems to detect ourcellular carrier just as well as mine does.
Is there any help for this affliction?

Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly? I used to search for a name and it would find it in All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?

Why does Maverick mail no longer search properly?
I used to search for a name and it would find it in One or All mailboxes. Now it sometimes works, but mostly not. Any solutions?

I would like to add that Comcast is my internet provider. Perhaps that is part of the issue although the Connection Doctor confirms the mail box is connecting to the internet. No other function processes when Connection Doctor program is used to find the source of the issue. I have read forum posts but am unable to find a way to get my Apple mail to be delivered to my computer. It worked fine up until I chose to transfer mail to the Cloud. My mail account is a .mac account.
Still hoping someone out there can help me.
thanks,

Why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

why does itunes say i have the latest version 4.2.1 (8c148) for my 3rd gen iPod touch when it should be iOS 5?

Be sure it is really a 3rd gen. Some people with 2nd gens were told they were 3rd gens. Identifying iPod models or Look up specs by Serial Number. If it is a 2nd gen, then you can't upgrade.
IF IT REALLY IS A THIRD GEN iPod Touch, then you first need to upgrade to iTunes 10.5 in order to download iOS 5 because older versions of iTunes don't support and can't sync with iOS 5.

Sometimes a web page appears with only text and no picures. It is not always the same site and does not always happen. If I switch to Explorer for the same web site it always works

Thank you, it worked with just F5. I don't know whether CTRL + F5 would work because the problem has not come back yet!

Monitor resolution & increasing font size

I am a pc user swithcing to mac...
I have an external non-apple monitor whose native resolution is 1400 x 900, so I have set the mac to that resolution.
1) does the mac have a "native" resoltuion, or is any option offered "native"?
2) More importantly...higher resolution monitors make things smaller, too small for my eyes. In Windows (desktop, properties, settings, advanced, DPI setting), you could set the DPI font size to 125%, which increased all fonts for all programs by that amount. I don't find a similar setting in mac. Is there a way to universally increase the font size?
Thanks
bob

Why does Acrobat X Reduce File Size make significantly bigger files?

Drawings at AO size, probably from AutoCad, each pdf ranging in size from 600 to 800kb. No encription. No attachments. No embedded fonts. Reprinted them through Acrobat X Pro to A3 then combined them. Binder size was about 5MB, too large for my client's email system.
Ran the binder through Reduce File size with compatibilty to Version 7 and the binder blew out in size by 20%. Increased the version compatibility to Version 8 and it increased yet again, to Version 9 stayed the same as 8.
Optimised the same binder and it blew out yet again. Auditing showed no difference no matter what i deleted.

If you have a file made from AutoCAD it is probably just line drawing. There is really no scope to reduce the size of these (except by taking away lines, which wouldn't be popular). I don't know why it gets bigger, but it's unlikely to get smaller, so I'd recommend finding a different way to deliver the file (many web sites exist for delivering large files).

Resolution? Font size? X300

I have just switched from a T42 to the X300 and am dismayed at the small print on the screen. The screens are the same width - 11.25 inches, but the X300 is only 7 inches tall vs.8.5 ins. for the T42. I feel like I need to buy a magnifier for the screen because everything is so small. I have gone to control panel....display....and increased the font size to ex-large, but this doesn't change the font size on internet sites. The IE does allow you to change the screen size to 125%, 150% etc., but it has to be done manually every time you sign on.
Anyone know how I can get bigger print? Thanks, Jill

I have Vista on this one, but I looked at one of my XP machines:
Right click somewhere on your desktop -> Properties -> Settings -> Advanced. It should be on one of the tabs there.

Why Does Acrobat Pro Looses Font Type

Hello All -
I am putting up a web site and have up-loaded a few PDF files that were created with Acrobat Pro for Windows. I have used Adobe's font type - Lithos Bold. When I open the file on my computer or another persons computer the PDF's have maintained the Lithos Blod font. But, when I up-load the same file(s) to my web site via FTP and then check the site, the Lithos Bold font is not showing up.
The web site I am working on is a very entry level work in progress - one link to the PDF file is at:
http://themirrorgroup.com/nasa/wp-content/PDF/CultureOfInclusion.pdf
the other link to look at is (and this one maintained its formatting) - why, I hope someone can answer the question.
http://themirrorgroup.com/nasa/wp-content/PDF/BestWorstCaseScenarios.pdf
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Doyle

I have no idea what you are talking about. Both files look fine to me. Can you post a screen capture of the problem and point out what the problem is. Both files have Lithos Bold embedded. The Arial and such might be a problem, but the Lithos should not be a problem. There is an outside chance you have Acrobat turned on to use Local fonts and you do not have that one on your system.

Why does Pages file explodes in size?

When I attach a 1.1 MB Pages file to a mail: why does the file grows to 14,3 MB??? Even a normal blank pages document of 63 KB becomes 9,5 MB when attaching it to an email?!!!
What am I missing?

There has to be graphics in there somewhere to make it that big.
Do you have Captured pages (the master sections) with graphics in them, possibly repeating, in the document?
If you like click on my blue name and email me the document and I'll look at it.
