by Francewhoa, 9 years agoThe 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?

posted 9 years agoWith Zoom Page WE 7.1, both the popup panel and the options dialog will automatically adjust to accommodate the larger font sizes used on some platforms.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Davide, 4 months agoHi there, please consider adding the ability to open the Preferenences, from the toolbar icon context menu.
Thank you! <3 - Rated 4 out of 5by TheInvoker, 4 months agoIt's working for me and it's great because now i can choose between full zoom or text only zoom for every website. firefox settings to choose different type of zoom for each website. it's a global setting.
Edit: i just noticed a bug with Reddit. Not all the text is zoomed. only the first 10-15 topic titles are enlargened and the names of the subreddits on the left never change no matter what zoom i set. - Rated 1 out of 5by centurion 2000, 6 months ago

- Rated 5 out of 5by jimmie_cricket, 7 months 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 16678230, a year agoThis is perfect for youtube full resolution in browser under vertical tabs mode, as it is like some other websites that does not fit properly for the new feature.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18081624, a year 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, a year 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, a year 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.
