The good
• Attractive GNU General Public License version 2. This means this add-on is owned and supported by a friendly not-for-profit community. Instead of a for-profit corporation. And more secure because its full code is publicly available for review.
• Easily and quickly set default zoom either per-site or per-tab
• Fast and responsive
• Lots of configurable options
• Add-on can be activated or deactivated without restarting Firefox
• Implemented using the new WebExtensions API. Which is the future of add-ons.
• Available for both Firefox and Chrome with identical functions and user interfaces. So one easier learning curve :)

• Friendly and fast support from author

The bad
• After you click on the toolbar button, the text on the following 3 buttons overlap the buttons: “Reset”, “Auto”, “Reset”. Which make those 3 buttons both hard to see and use. But the buttons are still usable. The author said there is a fix in progress to resolve that.

Note
• This is now fixed with version 6.3+. With the previous version 6.2 at “about:addons” under the add-on “Preferences” page the location of the configuration of options might be hard to find for newcomers. Because to find those the user has to scroll all the way under the very long add-on description text :( In my case, after an initial configuration I seldom need to change those configurations though. So it is still usable :) I suggest to keep the add-on description text concise. And move the long details to a webpage. Such as the add-on homepage at https://addons.mozilla.org

Then add link(s) from the add-on “Preferences” page to the add-on homepage. I understand Mozilla made a poor usability choice by moving the configuration to that location. But I’m assuming the developer has control over the lenght of the text and can add URL into that description of the add-on “Preferences” page? Any other suggestion to resolve this challenge?

Using
• Add-on version 6.3
• Firefox 52.4.0 (64-bit)
• Debian 8 Jessie 64-bit
• GNOME

Hello, this addons is pretty useless. Please make one to lock the zoom level for all opened tabs, and new tabs. Something like default zoom level.
I need to install a crx from chrome store for this functionality.

answer.
so, to modify a simple number (default zoom level), i have to make 6-7 different mouse clicks in different menu's?
no, sorry, better install
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zoom-tab/legekacjhcjbkhjnggkbbibckddakkaa

i re-ask you if you can make a simple addon to do this in the more easy way. If you can't, or simply dont want, thanks anyway.

Autofit STILL DOES NOT WORK!
Really nothing more than a Beta update time after time with each newer version.
Dev fix this "THEN" release a WE Version that actually works instead of using the rest of us users a test pilots.

For some odd reason, this addon will not automatically scale images to fit within the window; it makes them huge when I want ALL of them to fit and it will not quit.

It's like the "autofit" function doesn't even work. I have to resize all the pictures BY HAND.

Otherwise, this is a worthy replacement for the almighty "Zoom Page" addon (which had an autofit function that actually worked AUTOMATICALLY).

Endless verification loading loop, please fix!

This addon is a must have for me. Although this new version still appears to have some bugs (some sites do not seem to be affected for instance) and can be improved.
Still, great addon!

Most users just want to magnify the browser up to a preset level. Why would you change that and make it so hard just to set a default level, as in the previous iteration?

I was just about to uninstall add on because I could find no obvious way to set the default zoom level. Not one word of explanation is offered--just endless and (for me) pointless discussions about what the add on could do. Very strange.

By reading the reviews I found some hints on how to set the default level and was able to make the desired zoom adjustment.

The product is excellent. The instructions for busy people are horrendously bad. Do something about it if you want to have success.

New, 20210608:

Your help states:

Zoom Page WE is implemented using the new WebExtensions API and is available for both Firefox and Chrome with identical functions and user interfaces.

I find this slightly incorrect. When I export per-site option in FF, the filetype is .TXT. From Chrome, the filetype is .JSON.

Not such a problem, but, I can't import the FF per-site options to CHROME, even if I change the filetype to .JSON

The onlyi thing I see may be a problem is the final statement from FF is
"subsitetypes":{},
}

It has a trailing comma, but when I export from Chrome there is none.

Can I import FF options into Chrome and how?

===================================================

Old:

I justinstalled Zoom Page WE. (getting away from Zoom Page).
It breaks the following page:
https://www.ebay.com/dsc/Fiesta-Vintage/87/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=&LH_TitleDesc=1&_sop=10

I get the "unresponsive script" dialog. Does it consistently. I disable ZoompageWE and the page refreshes fine.

Running FF 52.4.0 EST... win 7 Pro, 32 bit


Addition, 10/4: Maybe I'm doing something wrong, But, it looks like I can not make more than one review. I wanted to list each problem in a separate review, but it looks like Mozilla deletes a previous review when I make a new one. So, communicating problems with reviews is problematic.

My second problem:

I set up the options to define customized zoom amounts(30, 40 50, etc) . I also set the Zoom In/Out to fixed steps of 4%.

using CTRL+ and CTRL- makes the zoom amount change by the "customized zoom amounts". Using the drop down menu + and - makes the zoom amounts change by the "In/Out fixed steps" amounts.

a. This is not documented
b. This is clumsy. That is, using the drop down menu is clumsy just to change a zoom amount. Any time I have to pick up the mouse and use it I am not happy. It would be perfect if I could define a keyboard shortcut for the two zoom by In/Out fixed amount functions. Or, just have them defined (maybe ctrl 11 and ctrl 12 or anything besides the mouse).

Just upgraded to this version this morning. I knew how to access the option menu because I had use the previous version that worked on earlier version of Firefox. But when I saw the option dialog box at the bottom of the option page I thought it was an image of the menu not the actual option menu. Sent email to the developer who responded within a minute of sending him a support email. All is well.
Outstanding!

When clicking in the "preferences" button it shows the description, not the options dialog !!!

By the way, there is no "options" button.

Will this new version work with FF 52.4.0 ESR or only with FF 57 and later ? ? Same question for your Print Edit WE add on ... Thank you

All the latest reviews are correct.
Limited functionality - I don't have time or patience to re-zoom every page, every time I reload it.
Set Zoom level once, and forget it. Should be that simple.
Have used the old version for years - time to find a new one.

Edit: Thanks for your reply, developer!

I found the options, thank you.
But why are they so hidden? You should make a shortcut to the options when you click the button in the add-on bar.

Aside from that, all is good.

having to click on it and then choose is clumsy. The plus and Minus for zoom should be visible without having to open it.

Zoom page by someone else is 1000 times better. But I appreciate you being here for us to choose. Maybe if you could just fix and make cleaner this app I will give it five stars

would it be possible to add the same controls as in the "old" addon? just - + and % in the tab bar.

a usefull addon for me, 6.1 works perfect here.

Hi,
The zoomed pages are now reset to the default zoom (for about a second) before they're zoomed again to their specified value. Please fix it!
Note that the AutoFit Zoom is turned off & I'm using FF v56.0 x64.
Thank you so much for your wonderful addon :)

It is working good for me, but there is no complete automatic alignment to the width of the current window so you do not have to click it.

I have no complain about the functionality, hence the 5 stars. :)

Just want to ask is it possible to make it zoom in/out by scrolling over the button? I am not sure if it is possible with WE but it will be a very nice thing to have.

A very useful add-on, helps my ageing eyes to read on a Surface screen.
I feel the ability to set a default zoom should be part of FF out-of-the-box as it is in MS Edge, but this app nicely fills that gap.

One weird thing is that the 'Options' and 'More' screens (available from the FF Extensions page) show the same information. I expected the 'Options' page just to show the options settings without repeating the details from the 'More' screen and vice versa. As it is now they seem to be identical.

Starting with version 5.2, the set scale of the page "chrome: //fvd.speeddial/content/fvd_about_blank.html" is not saved.
Extension «Speed Dial [FVD]» - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/fvd-speed-dial/?src=ss

Zoom page doesn't work well with many popup plugin, Zoom page WE fixes this problem

Works perfectly fine for me :)
Exactly what I was looking for
Thanks

Setting a minimum font size considerably slows down typing inside a search box with autocomplete. I'll keep using the extension but using the zoom option instead of minimum font size. Another reviewer mentions the extension is overloading the CPU, and the devs of the app replying it has to do with text zoom and minimum font size. They introduced a lite mode in the last version (which disables these features). I think they should fix it, or remove the features entirely.
