Zooming is required when appearing text is too small as per you convenience. Text can be zoomed into and out of using a simple shortcut provided in Firefox.
To zoom into text in a Firefox window simply keep [ctrl] pressed and move the mouse scroll upwards. Similarly to zoom out keep [ctrl] pressed and scroll your mouse downwards. But sometime it may happen that you may zoom into a page too much, either by accident or in an attempt to read a something really small. To avoid this situation, you can predefine the zoom limits for Firefox using the 'about:config'. Here is procedure :

1. In the Firefox address bar, type in 'about:config'
2. In the text box that appears enter 'zoom.maxPrecent'
3. You can define the maximum zoom value here. Firefox will not zoom in higher than this value.
4. Similarly look for the entry 'zoom.minPercent'.
5. Define the minimum zoom value.

Unfortunately it doesn't allow you to set it higher than 300%.
Well, you can, but when you zoom higher than that it just pops back.
