How exactly do you use a PC without a mouse! Just go buy any mouse at Futureshop for $10

He probably uses a laptop with a touch pad for a mouse or is using a mobile device (smart phone, tablet, etc).

You can go into your preferences of Firefox and set your default font and text size.


Cheers
 
hold control and scroll up on your mouse wheel

hold control and press + / - to zoom text in / out

Cool. You learn something new every day on terb.

These remind me of Ctrl, Alt, Down Arrow. Great way to have fun with your colleagues' work stations at the office.
Left and Right have similar effects.
Up arrow brings you back to normal.

I don't think you can accidentally change the text size to be smaller on a web page on a smartphone or tablet. You can only zoom out so much on a smartphone or tablet. On a PC you can zoom out so the text becomes crazy small.

I actually don't recommend changing the default text settings of any browser because it can affect how web pages look. So you might end up with odd results i.e. text on buttons can get cut off because the web designer had a specific font and size in mind. If need be, zoom in to the web page, which as said earlier you can do by pressing ctrl and + or - at the same time.

If the trackpad has a zone where you can scroll up and down (typically the right side and will have a slight colour difference), then you should be able to press and hold ctrl and move your finger up or down on that region. I'm not sure if it works that way on a Mac though.
