Make Web Pages Larger in Firefox

Have you run across a site with small words that you have to strain to read? Do you want the text in the pages to be larger? Are you sick of downloading extension after extension to fix what should be a very basic problem? 
This article will help you to make web pages larger in Firefox.
Instructions 
  1. Open the affected web page. Make sure it's actually small enough that you need to zoom in, because when you zoom in, you have to scroll up and down more. There's a tradeoff between word size and screen scrolling space. Furthermore, if you're going to print, then bigger words take up more space, which uses more paper, costing you!
  2. If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, hold down Control and scroll the wheel up and down. This will change the size of the text - do this until the text is the proper size.
  3. If your mouse doesn't have a scroll wheel, don't be afraid! Simply hold Control and press + or -; this shortcut is another great way to zoom pages.
