ff3b5 crashes
 

I installed firefox 3 beta 5 on a RHEL 5 system. It was working fine until
one day I inadvertently triggered page zoom using an unrepeatable sequence
of mouse wheel, arrow keys, and holding my mouth just right. It is now
stuck at around 50% zoom for this one site, which is actually quite nice.
The problem is that when I use the scroll wheel faster than the page
updates, firefox crashes. Very annoying. Is there a way I can reset it
to zoom 1:1 again? Crashes suck when I have multiple instance up and doing
several things at once.

Thanks,

There's page/text/image/zoom extensions for control or to manage it.

I use NoSquint (in Fx2/3):
<https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2592/>
<http://urandom.ca/nosquint/>
(After loading the above page in Fx3 RC2 with NoSquint set at 130%
Full Zoom and Fx window about 5cm less than full width on a WS
display, when opening the bookmarks in the sidebar everything from the
image down doesn't display with the sidebar open until I close the
sidebar, adjust the width of the sidebar, or maximise/adjust window.)

Another I know of:
<http://www.tom-cat.com/mozilla/firefox/extensions-zoomer.html>

Or search for zoom at addons.mozilla.org for more.

Thank you. I should have been able to find that on my own. I feel
so stoopid. I installed NoSquint as you suggested. Very nice extension.
It has a very noticeable performance impact though. But Firefox no longer
crashes, so I am well once again. Thanks again.
