WooHoo! Got FF 2.0.0.14 on Win9x to be able to change the text size permanently!

The trick is that I can't do it from INSIDE the browser - maybe some internal link broken in the Registry (9x doesn't do 'Restore previous setup' easily!)- I only get 4 windows with no 'header' on top.

But if you run 'Firefox.exe -preferences' it opens up a version of FF that ONLY gives all the preferences screens properly! I set the text font size (can also change the Font and colours!) so that I can see things clearer - no more rude comments about needing specs from JiK!   :-P

Funny I don't remember the earlier version doing that...

Now I only have to fix a few things like the 'go back a screen' button not working, etc!!!

Well couldn't post before... then discovered that that trick only worked once - now the 4 windows that come up are only that section for the options that allow me to change the text size.... !!!!!!!!

BTW, also broken is the bit that allow one under the edit menu to search a page for some text.
