    In Firefox Control + and Control - increase and decrease the font size. In Opera they zoom the whole display - this allows a page to be expanded to use the whole width of the screen. Many sites (I cite www.bbc.co.uk) use only a little more that half the screen width, which is rather annoying.

    Is there an add on to Firefox to allow Opera type zooming?

    Labarum,

    There seems to be an extension for almost anything, altho I don't know of one for your situation. You can use F11, which will expand the page, but not quite expand it to a full page.

    I am using Opera9.1, and the Zoom is very approximate, to the point that it is simpler to stay with what is given (120 is not enough, and 150% is too much). From what I can see, it is the way BBC presents the page which is the problem.
