Zoom Page WE EN

CHANGES

Version 19.13

• Improvements to popup panel.
• Minor bug fixes.

OVERVIEW

Zoom Page WE provides facilities to zoom a web page (either per-site or per-tab) using full-page zoom, text-only zoom and minimum font size. AutoFit (fit-to-width) zoom can be applied manually or automatically. Small images can be scaled to fit the browser window. Please see the 'Zoom Mode', 'Zoom Type' and 'Image Scaling' sections for more details.

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

IMPORTANT NOTES

Firefox 75 to Firefox 94
If using Firefox 75 to Firefox 94, before disabling or removing Zoom Page WE, follow these steps to restore Firefox's normal zoom behaviour:
• Open the Zoom Page WE Options dialog.
• Set the 'Zoom Mode' to 'Per-Site'.
• Enable the 'Let browser manage per-site full zoom' option.
• Click on the 'Save' button.

Firefox 74 or earlier
If using Firefox 74 or earlier, the 'browser.zoom.siteSpecific' preference must be manually set in Firefox's 'about:config' page. If the 'Let browser manage per-site full zoom' option is enabled, then 'browser.zoom.siteSpecific' must be set to true, otherwise 'browser.zoom.siteSpecific' must be set to false.

Touch Pad/Screen
When using a touch pad or touch screen with Zoom Page WE, unexpected zooming or jittering may occur. In this case, the 'Use Zoom Levels for Ctrl+Wheel & Pinch zooming' option should be disabled.
