by Hoggy, 8 years agoThis appears the be the only(?) most viable replacement for the NoSquint extension of Firefox past.
It would be nice if there was an option to only automatically do an auto-zoom if there are no previous 'Zoom Page WE' settings for that page/url/domain. (ETA: I just reread the instructions, and it says this option is already there.. I just don't think it's working properly here, sine I had to disable it because I think it was always applying it --- I'll try enabling it again, and notice if there is indeed a problem here. )
Though I do like that the built-in Fx zoom controls seem to affect the text only, after an auto (where the setting is 'full') has been applied. Don't know if this is intentional or not, but I like the fact that it seems to work that way here.
Also, regarding the options page: it's not drawn correctly here (namely the bottom buttons) if the minimum font size is set larger.. I had to lower that in order to see what the last checkbox was for.
However, I'm having a constant annoying problem in Fx Nightly (58.x) - where a yellow banner pops up, and says "Zoom Page WE" is slowing down your browser.. With options to temporarily disable it, stop it, or wait. The only workable solution to get past it and view the page properly is to select either 'temp disable' or 'stop it'.

Sorry for the late reply - I've been trying to gather any commonalities (unsuccessfully). It has largely calmed down for the moment, but seems to be more prevalent if 'autofit' is enabled. When it was happening a lot, I had few tabs being restored due to me just getting into nightly... But now I always have a lot of tabs (>30 tabs). Whether that means anything, I don't know.

posted 8 years agoIf the Zoom Mode is Per-Site and if the "AutoFit when page loaded or browser resized" option is enabled, then fit-to-width zoom will be applied automatically - but NOT if the user has manually set a site-specific zoom level.
With Zoom Page WE 7.1, the Options page is now drawn correctly for all font sizes, and the yellow banner popups should no longer appear.

- Rated 5 out of 5by jimmie_cricket, a month agoI can't live without this extension. With Firefox on Linux many sites have such small fonts for my 50 year old eyes. Setting the font size to a default of 20 is great. If a site is wonky, and I use it alot, I'll use this extension for the base font and stylus to tweak any bad CSS. I can't believe that in 2025 there are still so many front end guys that don't check how their pages look in at least Firefox and Chrome on Windows, Linux and Mac.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18081624, 7 months agoZoom Page WE knows how to make good software. But they do NOT know how to provide decent instructions for them.
For instance their instructions say this:
"After installation of Zoom Page WE, there will be a new icon on the main toolbar with a blue badge showing the current zoom level."
That is NOT true. There was no blue icon on the toolbar (and they should have shown a picture of the icon to let us know what it looks like).
Here is how to make that icon appear in Firefox version of Zoom Page WE:
Click on the Firefox Extension icon which is on the Firefox Toolbar. Right click on Zoom Page WE and choose "pin to toolbar" - Rated 1 out of 5by Franceska, 7 months agoDommage mais ce développeur a abandonné ce module qui était l'un des meilleurs, autant celui pour Firefox que celui pour les navigateurs Chrome/Edge. Il commence à disfonctionner même sur Firefox maintenant vu qu'il fonctionnait déjà assez mal sur Edge.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Marty, 9 months agoI am totally enthusiastic about this extension because it allows you to enlarge the font on a homepage on a per-site basis. I have been looking for this for a long time. I was always annoyed that there was no extension for Firefox like Zoom Text only for Google Chrome.
