And use the mouse wheel to increase or decrease size.

in the upper right shown the percent plus a reset button. Click the reset to get the default setting at 100%. Also you hold the ctrl key and then you can use your mouse wheel to increase or decrease.

I just go up to the right hand corner and hit + or -. There have been times when the font suddenly got really large, too, and I find that even more annoying.

only with books and magazines. As I got older, they printed them in smaller and smaller type.

Seriously though, I set my font size at 120%, and sometimes larger.
