Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 262715

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Andy Vaughan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

In other software (Opera, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, Photoshop, CorelDraw ...) when
I scroll the mouse wheel up, things get bigger (or I zoom in) and when I scroll
it down they get smaller (or I zoom out).
In FireFox it's the opposite way round and this catches me out every time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.View any web page with text.
2.Hold down the <CTRL> key on the keyboard.
3.Scroll the mouse wheel in on direction then the other, observing the size of
the text on the page.

Actual Results:  
When I scroll the mouse wheel up the text gets smaller.
When I scroll the mouse wheel down the text gets larger.

Expected Results:  
When I scroll the mouse wheel up I'd expect the text to get bigger (zoom in).
When I scroll the mouse wheel down I'd expect the text to get smaller (zoom out).
Opera, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, Photoshop, CorelDraw all work this way round.

According to the duplicate bug Fx works the same way around as IE.
