    My 4 year old daughter managed to find some key combo that has my faults appearing way too large in Firefox. I've tried altering them in the Tools>Options>Content tab and with the advanced options in Firefox but it never seems to stay that way for long. Does anyone have any idea what she did and how I can reverse it? If I knew what the Windows default keybind was to alter font sizes was that'd be a huge help as this isn't necesarilly a strictly Firefox issue for all I know.

    Ctrl key and mouse wheel will change the font size for the site you are on.

    You could also try on XP: Close FF. Start>Run type in %appdata% In window that opens browse to >Mozilla folder/Firefox/Profiles/*****.default and delete localstore.rdf. Restart FF. I'm not entirely sure this will reset the fonts but believe it is worth a try. The file is recreated when you start FF so no harm done.

    MarkTrent, a regular poster knows FF very well. He may be able to give you more detailed advice.
