I was commenting yesterday that mozilla does things backwards (of course

Mozilla does it the other way. I'd like this to be consistent. Anyone

setting "mousewheel.withcontrolkey.numlines" to "-1" changes the behaviour.

moving the mousewheel up gets us a bigger font and
we no longer need to turn the mouse by 180 degrees ... ;)

I'm with Kurt, not changing the default behaviour for a cross-platform app.

So would this do it, or is this document getting too long?
