Everything is much, much slower than with the old one.

"View Image" --> "Zoom" is f*cking slow, it crashes the whole Firefox.

I switched back to the old one, and everything is MUCH faster than with the new WE. Image zoom is blazingly fast.

I will not change to this WE-version unless i really have to. This sucks so bad that I just might switch to a different add-on just because of this.

Need some reset button to default the settings, and

Need some settings for sites to left-center-right alt in body and html

it's has always driving me nuts, when Some html, body and borders are being displayed in left site after top-banner on responsive sites instead of being center when i zooming in.

so basicly what i ask for is a feature to keep borders and body to align="center" when i zoom, while making side-banners pushed out of display sight, this site is an good example.

This appears the be the only(?) most viable replacement for the NoSquint extension of Firefox past.

It would be nice if there was an option to only automatically do an auto-zoom if there are no previous 'Zoom Page WE' settings for that page/url/domain. (ETA: I just reread the instructions, and it says this option is already there.. I just don't think it's working properly here, sine I had to disable it because I think it was always applying it --- I'll try enabling it again, and notice if there is indeed a problem here. )

Though I do like that the built-in Fx zoom controls seem to affect the text only, after an auto (where the setting is 'full') has been applied. Don't know if this is intentional or not, but I like the fact that it seems to work that way here.

Also, regarding the options page: it's not drawn correctly here (namely the bottom buttons) if the minimum font size is set larger.. I had to lower that in order to see what the last checkbox was for.

However, I'm having a constant annoying problem in Fx Nightly (58.x) - where a yellow banner pops up, and says "Zoom Page WE" is slowing down your browser.. With options to temporarily disable it, stop it, or wait. The only workable solution to get past it and view the page properly is to select either 'temp disable' or 'stop it'.


Response for developer reply of 17-11-01:
Sorry for the late reply - I've been trying to gather any commonalities (unsuccessfully). It has largely calmed down for the moment, but seems to be more prevalent if 'autofit' is enabled. When it was happening a lot, I had few tabs being restored due to me just getting into nightly... But now I always have a lot of tabs (>30 tabs). Whether that means anything, I don't know.

В новой 6.4 на некоторых сайтах постоянно меняется автомасшаб и не может определится (в Хроме- тоже)!
Откатилсятна 6.3- проблем нет
Как сбросить масштаб до 100%, если включен автомасштаб?

The new functions are fine but I miss the one hand, one click +/- and the one click % drop down menu of the old version. Find a way to restore the functionality of the old version and you get five stars.

Very annoying reset button at history triangle in address line. When page zoomed and you trying to open history but there reset :/

missing lots of the original functionality, and in both full and text zoom modes breaks page rendering all over the place.

Great and complete

Hi
Coming from defunct NoSquint, and as directly switching to NoSquint Plus would have been too easy and unfair I decided to give a try to Zoom Page WE. I installed and got a popup about some key that should be set to TRUE but I didn't had time enough to read & understand as non-english native speaker.
What to do ?
BTW : what does WE stands for ?
Thanks

What I don't like is the fact that when a new page loads, it loads the Firefox default zoom, then the page loads again with the ZOOM PAGE settings. It's disconcerting. How do I eliminate this flickering, shuddering reloading?

i don't like this extention at all .much worse than zoom page .
please at least add two function .
auto zoom page to fit width and fit specific width .this two function is very useful especially for tablet user .i give up to use chrome just because firefox have zoom page which have above 2 function but chrome dont have .
don't know why in new version developer remove the most competive functions .
please ,please add back please



after study more carefully the function ,just realize above is my misunderstanding ,it have auto fit width function in setting ,it's excellent .thanks for PERMALINK's reply

I have used the previous version of zoom page for years it was amazing. The new version is useless. No matter what you set the zoom level at you have to reset it every time you follow a link, or go backwards and forwards.

It doesn't even remember the zoom level you have picked if you visited the site earlier in the day.

If I could give it a zero star rating I would

org app 5 stars this replacement is overrated with one star compared to the ease o use and a much better interface than the original addon this one mimics

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 :)
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zoom-page-we/bcdjhkphgmiapajkphennjfgoehpodpk
• 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.
