- Rated 3 out of 5by Ruffus Lenhador, 5 years agoCan't zoom text-only and page independently so, pointless. Ex: text-80, page-110, only 80-80, sorry guys this is the only reason to it be usefull.
it reset the previous zoom stablished in the zoom native tool of firefox (not really a problem)
EDIT: No, I'm saying that I set the text to 80%, now I want to set the page to 110 but when I switch from text to page zoom, the text zoom reset to 100%, nooo! stay in 80.
The solution to that, in my humble ignorance, would be to add 3 bars (productivity is important)
-firefox native
-text only
-page zoom
all working at the same time.Developer response
posted 5 years agoThis is not correct. When using 'Full Zoom', the selected zoom level is applied to the whole page. When using 'Text Zoom', the selected zoom level is applied to the text AND the Default Other zoom level is applied to other items in the page. The Default Other zoom level can be configured in Zoom Page WE Options. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13796660, 5 years agoReally handy addon, my only gripe is that the "Default Minimum Size" font setting seems to be useles because it sets the minimum size BEFORE page scaling, nor after.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15218065, 5 years agoHow can i override image's setting (like < img width="100%">) to zoom force?
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15330822, 5 years agoBroken with the last update. If a new tab is opened on a zoomed-in website, zoom of all tabs of this website reset to the global default.
- Rated 3 out of 5by #98374, 6 years agoGood, but there is significant energetic impact of this extension during web page load at "about:performance" firefox tab. (Firefox beta) Can developer optimise a bit?
- Rated 3 out of 5by McBob, 6 years agoAn excellent addon, but there are many pages it simply won't work on, such as deviantart.com and forum2go.nl. When I open the addon flydown from the button, the fields are all blank, and even when I click a field to set a different zoom level or font size, the change isn't implemented.
- Rated 3 out of 5by DavidGB, 6 years agoThis add-on was fine until recently, but then a problem appeared when just an image is loaded in a tab. When the image natural size is taller then the tab vertical size, the image loads shrunk to fit, and on clicking on the image to full-size it, the image goes to full-size and centred, so some of the imaage is above and some below the viewable area. So far, so normal. But the problem is that the top of vertical scroll bar is only the top of the initially viewable area in the centred full-size image. The bottom of the scrollbar is the actual bottom of the image so I can scroll down to see the bottom of the full-sized image, but I can't scroll up to see the top of the image above the top of what was visible centred and full-sized. This is with me not explicitly using the extension by clicking on it, but actually clicking on Zoom Page WE and zooming that way produces the same effect, and disabling the extension removes the problem. This makes the extension unusable for me as it is, and I've had to switch to a different zoom page extension. I'll switch back and check if the problem is fixed or not when updates appear.
- Rated 3 out of 5by JDF, 6 years agoIt works but noticeably slows down the browser. about:performance will often ZoomPage using the most energy, comparable to a tab playing a clunky news site java video. (This only happens when you change pages.) I'm on an i7-4700 cpu and 2GB GTX cpu from 2013. I used the add-on for several years, so thanks to the dev.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14520337, 6 years agoI don't get what makes this addon so popular/special.
I can't even exceed the 300% zoom with this one.Developer response
posted 6 years agoIf you want to zoom > 300%, then you must change the 'zoom.maxPercent' setting in Firefox's 'about:config' pereferences. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14479691, 6 years agoUsed to work great. Been having issues with the new Google Mail loading wonky and refreshing constantly. Disabling this extension corrected the issue.

posted 6 years agoTry disabling the 'Apply to dynamic content (better but slower)' option. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14398282, 6 years ago
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14350366, 6 years agoThis addon has problems with certain zoom settings. I visited Arstechnica.com and reduced the zoom level to 120% from the default level of 125%. The page automatically scrolls down to the bottom, and does not let me scroll up again. I did not check all zoom settings. Other websites did not seem to show the same problem.
Developer response
posted 6 years agoCannot reproduce this problem with Arstechnica.com. Suspect that another add-on or Firefox settings are conflicting with Zoom Page WE. Do you have the 'Show zoom mode and privacy warnings' setting enabled in Zoom Page WE Options? - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14312807, 6 years agoVery useful extension that gives functionality which should be built-in and native to a browser. BUT some sites don't open with this extension enabled. For example: vuejs.org

It just needs 3 more things to become perfect: 1) The 'Adjust Line Space Factor' setting should be configurable on a per-site basis (as well as a global default setting) just like the zoom factor and the minimum font size setting. 2) That 'Adjust Line Space Factor' setting should always be a 'minimum setting': it shouldn't be applied to text that already holds a greater line space factor. 3) One should be able to completely deactivate/activate the extension's operation on a given tab by means of the the Firefox UI's button, in case the extension could not deliver a good layout for that tab's content. Actually these ended up being the 3 reasons that had me try to find another extension, even though I wanted to use Zoom Page WE
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14221900, 7 years agoOverall good. Suggested improvements:
+/- (zoom-in/out) controls displayed on toolbar.
Toolbar button popup should have a button to edit Options. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14188159, 7 years agoThis extension is good, but I liked the old "Zoom Page" better, but it doesn't work with the current Firefox versions anymore.
There you could set it to automatically select a zoom, which works much better than having to constantly set the zoom size itself.Developer response
posted 7 years agoYou can configure Zoom Page WE to automatically select a zoom level, just like the old Zoom Page, by enabling the 'Apply AutoFit when page loaded or browser resized' option. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13748471, 7 years agoWould be better if it allowed the ability to adjust both full and text zoom on any given page.
Developer response
posted 7 years agoIt would be possible to have separate full and text zoom levels applied at the same time, but this would complicate the user interface and potentially confuse users. Also, it would not be possible to display both zoom levels on the toolbar button. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14101313, 7 years agoI've been using this add-on since Firefox Quantum came out. My problem with it is that I have zoom levels set to increase in 10% increments and the add-on refuses to to respect that setting and keeps defaulting to this behavior eg.: 120%, 133%, 150%, 170%, 200%. What I have the zoom levels set to is: 120%, 130%, 140%, 150%, 160%, 170%, etc.
How can I get this add-on to go up or down in 10% increments?Developer response
posted 7 years agoWhen you adjust the zoom level using the buttons and dropdown in the toolbar button popup, the user-defined zoom levels will always be applied.
When you adjust the zoom level using the Ctrl+- and Ctrl++ keyboard shortcuts, the user-defined zoom levels will be applied if the page contents are focused, but the Firefox default zoom levels will be applied if the page contents are not focused. It is not possible to change this behaviour.
It would be possible to have separate keyboard shortcuts (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+< and Ctrl+Shift+>) that would always apply the user-defined zoom levels, but this might be confusing for users. Any thoughts? - Rated 3 out of 5by WAZAAAAA, 7 years agoGreat extension.
The only problem it had with images for me has been fixed with 10.5 quickly after a report.
EDIT: no longer a necessary extension since FF 73 added a "default zoom" optionDeveloper response
posted 7 years agoCannot reproduce this problem with big images.
Please provide the following information and e-mail to: dw-dev@gmx.com
- Which operating system are you using?
- Which version of Zoom Page WE are you using?
- Do you have any other image-related or zoom-related add-ons installed?
- Please attach screenshots of the Zoom Page WE Options (both options tabs). - Rated 3 out of 5by svan71, 7 years agoI like the app only it doesn't work correctly on msn home page.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13699739, 7 years agoCrashes Quantum 57.0.4 very frequently. Otherwise, I like the add-on. Too bad native default zoom isn't available yet.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13484750, 7 years agoYour add-on breaks the ability to show pictures such as JPG in the browser (direct link to a jpeg, in its own tab, not on a web page).
Confirmed that the pics display correctly as soon as I disable Zoom Page WE, and break as soon as I re-enable it.
When I look at the page information, Firefox reports that the picture is 0pt x 0pt big.
Please fix (or remove "picture zoom" altogether, since this is not really why we install Zoom Page WE)
