On IE there is an Option to set the Zoom from 50% to 400%. Is there a way to set zoom levels on Firefox?

I am nearsighted and can't figure out how to set the zoom on Firefox. On IE I have it set at 150 %. I would like a bigger picture on my screen than the default on Firefox. Sometimes I even use 200 % or more on IE.

Yes, you can use the extension that I posted above to set a default zoom level.

Thanks cor-el.

I googled my problem and found out that I can use the Ctrl key and the + or - keys (or the scroll wheel on my mouse) to zoom on a page.

But what I am after is a way to set the default on the browser so that every page I go to will be at 150% (or 200% or whatever works best for my eyes). I am looking for a way to not have to adjust each and every page. I am not sure, because I haven't yet tried them, if your suggested downloads would set a default level for all pages.
