Firefox text size on OS X

I've been using ctrl-scroll wheel in Firefox on Windows for ages to increase or decrease text size. Firefox 1.5 used cmd-scroll wheel on OS X to do the same thing. I was irritated when cmd-scroll wheel stopped working in Firefox 2.0, but never irritated enough to find out why.

Apparently they changed this in 2.0 to ctrl-scroll wheel, I guess to be more consistent with the Windows version. This collides with the default setting for OS X's zoom feature.

I've never been able to figure out the Firefox setting to change the text size shortcut, so tonight I finally reassigned the OS X zoom to cmd-scroll wheel.

Yay, now I can use ctrl-scroll wheel in Firefox to change text size!

I think I need one of these

I'm not sure why, but I really would like a beer pouring robot. I'd prefer one that spoke its preprogrammed witty bartender phrases in English though.
