At least this isn't one of those 'convince me why I should use [buy] XXXXXX' threads. Just DL it and give it a try. Your machine won't blow up and neither will your nose fall off.

Like I said they may be avaliable in FireFox, but I wasnt able to find them.

Tools->Options, general tab, fonts & colors, check the two boxes at the bottom, and set a minimum font size. Note that you may have to set options independently for Western and Unicode (and any other character sets you use). Does that do what you need?

i use mozilla as my main browser

the only thing i use IE for any more is getting windows updates and doing online virus scans (because those web sites only support IE)

The speed of IE just keeps me coming back everytime I give Firefox a chance.

Firefox seems better in most areas....but I value speed above and beyond anything else.
