Silly problem, but I screwed up my browser and now everything is displayed in much smaller type. It is a real eyestrain- does anyone know the keys you press to change the size back to normal?

Ctrl+0 (zero)

As a general tool, ctrl - and ctrl + (actually ctrl =, but the other way's easier to remember) will change the text size in a browser, and in some cases will zoom pictures and formatting as well, depending on what browser you're using.

also hold ctrl and scroll your mouse wheel up and down

Well, actually it is both Ctrl + and Ctrl =, since the = character requires a shift in some non-English keyboards but number pad Ctrl + works with all keyboard layouts. For example my keyboard has a SE/FI layout and the = character comes with Shift 0. If I press Ctrl Shift 0, it does increase the text size, but of course I never use that.

By the way, Firefox 3.x lets you choose whether you want to change just text size or pictures and formatting as well.

My cat has a bad habit of sleeping on the left 'ctrl' sometimes, and when I scroll with the mouse wheel things go silly very quickly
