Rated 4 out of 5
by oggerbolt, 3 years agoVery useful.
Some suggestions:
The address bar indicator is superfluous, we already have the tool bar button. Please add option to remove the address bar indicator. Or omit completely.
It seems impossible to set the zoom for a page
*but not its subpages*. Please add a way to set "this level" only.
Similarly, add an option please to discrimination between pages of the same level. Use case: A forum with the topic index "...path/to/forum/index.html" and the topic threads "...path/to/forum/topicNNN.html". The index is often a list of natively large headlines, while the topics have natively a smaller text. Is would be great if the index could be made smaller (for quick scanning -- more rows on the screen), while the topic threads could be enlarged for better reading. There must be many other use cases for such a feature, I'm sure.
From an information ergonomics perspective, reduce the cognitive load of the need to translate from symbols in the subsite popup menu to their meaning. A plain text menu that nobody has to learn the meanings of would be more elegant.
If I understand it correctly, the level settings are set from a loaded page. Then the text "include all descendants except for the first X levels" can be shortened to "Apply to this page and its descendants", or even "This page and descendants".
Also great would be an option for deeper levels to overwrite the settings for levels higher up. So we get an overwrite hierarchy for level-specific settings (">" means "overwrites"): deepest level > deeper level > deep level > subdomain > domain > default. (Do not set levels by fixed numbers here, only compare depths, because there are incredibly deep paths out there that would make a menu ridiculously long.)
And, a BIG THANKS for your work already done here!

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16678230, a month 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, 2 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, 2 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, 4 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.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Avalon27703, a year agoMost important add-on/extension ever, anywhere. I avoid all browsers that can't do exactly what this lets Firefox do.
