mozilla is backwards (as usual)
I was commenting yesterday that mozilla does things backwards (of course they're SPECIAL). On every other application out there, if you hold control and move the scroll wheel up, you get things bigger (I checked with opera, konqueror, and yes, internet explorer as well). Mozilla does it the other way. I'd like this to be consistent. Anyone objects to fixing that ?

No strong objections, but it will probably confuse users that come from other operating systems or users that are longtime users of mozilla and are used to this behaviour.

Can this behavior be controlled via the about:config page? If so it would be much better to leave the default behavior and individuals can customize their preferences via about:config.
