Zooming text only in Firefox

In Firefox you can hold down the Control and Plus (+) keys at the smae time to zoom the text in the browser window (note: Mac users will use the command key instead of the Control key). You can also use Control and Minus (-) key to reduce the text. Using Control and the number zero (0) key will reset the size. This is nothing new, it's been known for quite a while. But here's a new twist on that trick. When you are using Control +/- to zoom the text, the images on the page also get resized. Turns out there is a way to zoom just the text, leaving the images at their original size. If you want to zoom that way, hold down the Shift key when you are zooming. If you do this, the text will increase/decrease and the images will always remain at the same size.
