    Yeah, this use happen to me often tell I learned the trick of re-sizing text on the touchpad with a web browser like IE or Foxfire. You are probably using two fingers on the pad without realizing when you accidentally resize the type.

    The right method is to have 1 finger still on the touchpad and use a 2nd finger movement on the pad & slide it horizontally inward towards the 1st finger to make the text smaller. You move the 2nd finger the opposite way horizontally away from the 1st to make the text larger.

    Just fool around and practice a bit with the the two finger method to get the hang of resizing browser text and you soon notice why you are accidentally resizing text. There a couple intuitive ways to resize text using the 2 finger touch.
