- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14271387, 6 years agoFinally a flawless zoom extension, thank you !
Still a shame that we need an extension to make Firefox usable on a full HD 13" screen, wtf is Mozilla doing ?
Edit : actually there is a bug report, here : https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332275

posted 6 years agoOn top of all it's just a simple thing to do if they wanted to (I'm guessing), it's basic accessibility, your eyes are what you use the most while browsing.
I have seen no bug reports of this on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org, that's the only way they will probably do something. I've submitted my opinion on ´Offer us ideas on how to make Firefox better´ but who knows if somebody actually reads that. Mozilla has very very poor infrastructure for feedback IMO. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14253532, 6 years agoVery easy to setup and configure. Choose a zoom level and voilà! it's setted up on all of your tab. Congrats to dev :)
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 14219946, 6 years agoVery nice extension. Simple and doesn't require any permissions. Would be nice if the toolbar icon had a button for adding the current site's zoom level to the list of Rules by Site (rather than having to go the list and add it manually each time). Also, adding a new rule for the same site should automatically replace any existing rule for that same site (mail.google.com, for example).
Thanks! - Rated 4 out of 5by karachin16, 6 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Laserbeak, 6 years agoAwesome add-on —all the other add-ons don't zoom the entire pages, like the zoom level in Puffin Browser, but this one does it, since content is properly centered —love it ! Also now I can enter 75% as a rule for some sites I frequent (forums with bloated text area) !

posted 6 years agoI'm glad you liked it! I fixed those issues and now you can add an url with http, https or a trailing bar (/) in version 1.5.5. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14165510, 6 years agoThanks, this is just what I needed to bump the zoom level a bit on my 2k 27" monitor.
- Rated 5 out of 5by JonnyOne, 6 years agoeven better and better every single release. really congrats for this.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 6506576, 6 years agoI had hopes for this, Mozilla seemingly killed the ability to save zoom levels since FF60, but there are too many bugs in this add-on.
I have to constantly reset every time I leave a page. As an example I use a home page that is an RSS reader, it becomes a mess, the main page reverts to some setting that I never used, the links within are a complete mess, they just randomly choose a zoom level.
There is no way to add custom settings, the Manage Rules setting is greyed out, nothing can be saved.
Too bad.
Update: I have checked "enable" many times both under options in my add-ons list and using the icon on the toolbar (or whatever it's now called), it doesn't matter, it won't save.
I will keep monitoring your updates and try them out periodically. I don't normally write this much about an add-on, but I do think you're on the right track and I need something like this that fixes the Mozilla mess on something as simple as zoom.Developer response
posted 6 years agoI wish I could help you, I know this should be more of browser implementation rather me doing a complement. Zoom preferences are really important and Mozilla should realize that.
Regarding the manage rules being greyed out, that's because first you have to check the "enabled" checkbox to enable the extension and then click on save settings.
Hope that helps. - Rated 5 out of 5by Grigoriy Alexeev, 6 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14147660, 6 years agoWorks straight out of the box and works with all new tabs, links and pages.
Works with 50 " 4 K tv.
Unfortunately need to be save settings again each time after closing and re-opening the browser - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 12125742, 6 years agoIt would be helpful if we could disable the addon for specific sites or let us use custom zoom levels for them. And to add buttons to increase/decrease in 10% steps. The killer feature would be to let us set the zoom level dependent on the current screen's dpi.
Edit: cool, thanks for the fast reply! Yeah I have an external monitor at home and at work but also work without external monitor often where I enlarge the pages because some of them have too small texts. This site correctly identifies the dpi of the screen where the browser is active: http://dpi.lvDeveloper response
posted 6 years agoI will look into those features, the buttons are easy, the zoom depending the current screen dpi I don't understand, do you have multiple monitors or something like that? The custom zoom per site it's a little more complex, Ill see if I can figure how to implement it. Anyhow there's a github page if you want to add more details https://github.com/Enchufadoo/fixedzoom - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14112268, 7 years agoThat's good, but I have some advice, the maximum is a little less than 200, and I need to zoom in to 240 when I surf the web on a 4k TV.
