So while I was on NPF, for some weird reason the area on my mousepad that is used for scrolling up and down on pages (if it were a normal mouse, it would be that wheel thingy in the middle) started enlarging and shrinking everything on the page (text, pictures, etc.). It was kinda frustrating because every time I tried to scroll down, everything on page became fucking huge and I had this problem on a buncha other sites so I think that it was a problem with the browser (Firefox), but after a few minutes of frustrating attempts at scrolling, everything was back to normal. So yeah, does anybody know why this happened and how I can make it happen again (if I can pull it off, this would be a fun prank :D)?

But i didnt even knew that was possible o.o

You were holding the control key. Or it was stuck.

Oh shit! That is the reason why it happened! And it makes sense considering the fact that the keys on my laptop have a tendency to stick sometimes. Excellent detective work, shiney!

Detective work? It's simply knowing keyboard shortcuts (http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/keyboard). :P

Too many nights of coffee and mornings of jelly doughnuts.

Edit: Since when did "donuts" become the official spelling? I'm using archaisms I didn't even know were out of use!
