In Explorer it’s right there at the right bottom of the screen.

That’s strange, as soon as I posted the OP it said “10 minutes ago”
By the way I don’t see the three horizontal bars for menu on Firefox.
Okay now it is corrected, (the time since posting the OP)
If you have the menus showing:
View -> Zoom ->Reset
If you do not have menus showing, click the settings “hamburger” in the upper right. There’s a 3-section row at the top. a minus sign to zoom out (shrink), the current zoom as a percentage and a plus sign to zoom in.
If the zoom is not 100%, click it to return it to 100%.
Does holding the Ctrl key down and clicking either + or – achieve your goal?
I use Ctrl-0 (the number zero) to reset my zoom level when it gets messed up.
And yes, the way they do menus in newer editions of Firefox is a bit odd and non-intuitive. It kind of threw me as well, though not terribly badly since I usually used keyboard commands instead of the menus.
@jaytkay “Hamburger”.... I like that!
I know this is not quite what you are asking but when I want to change the zoom, I hold down the Ctrl key then use the scroll wheel on my mouse to zoom in and out. This works for most programmes I use like Chrome, Word, Excel
Yo! @flo! Whadda ya know?
Any of these suggestions do the trick?
In the upper right corner of my Firefox screen there is a box at the end of a sky blue bar that has 3 horizontal black lines in it. My menu is there, @flo.
Nice tip, @Stinley. I know literally hundreds and perhaps (literally) thousands of keyboard shortcuts, but I did not know that combination keyboard-mouse shortcut. That’s great. Thanks.
@CWOTUS. No problem. I know lots too. Maybe we should have a question where we swap shortcuts and tips?
@ibstubro It depends, I see it now and have seen it in the past but I was using another computer when I posted this OP, so I guess under what circumstances would you not find it?
Is it the version of Firefox?
Beats me, @flo. I never knew it was there or used it until this question. lol
Okay. Why is called a hamburger menu, by the way?
It looks kind of like a hamburger.
