The link is taken from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/961581#question-reply. The picture can be zoomed in but not properly zoomed out. I understood from the answer that with this picture loading there will be no zoom problem.

Hello,

Firefox on Windows is now following display scaling options which may render text larger on high resolution displays. There's more than one way to resolve this problem. See the Webpages are large and blurry after updating Firefox - how to fix article for one suggestion. Here's another possible solution:

  • Type about:config into the Firefox address bar and tap on the Enter key.
  • If the warning This might void your warranty appears, click I'll be careful, I promise.
  • Search for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

Fx22layout.css.devPixelsPerPx

  • Double-click on layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to modify its value. The default is -1.0 in Firefox 22 and above. Change it to 1.0 to make it work like in previous Firefox versions.

If necessary, further adjust the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps. Use values between 1.0 and about 0.5 to reduce elements in size. Use values greater than 1.0 to increase size. For example, a value of 1.25 will increase font size to 125% to accommodate the default DPI setting in Windows 8. Double check the value that you enter. Setting a too small value will make everything disappear and a too large value will blow things up.

If web pages still need to be adjusted then you can look at the Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint extension.

To adjust the font size for the user interface, you can use the Theme Font & Size Changer extension.

By default Firefox has 8 levels of zoom in and it shouldn't "jump back".

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.

To Reset Firefox do the following:

  1. Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
  2. Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
  3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
  4. Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

Further information can be found in the Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings article.

The bookmarklet JavaScript that the-edmeister posted in the thread that you linked to will automatically zoom the image to make it fit in the page if you run the script (invoke the bookmarklet), but you can't zoom the image or page easily otherwise without first reloading the page (F5).

The script on the squarefree page should double or have the images, but I haven't tested if this still works, so if you have a problem with the zoom images in and zoom images out bookmarklet then please confirm this.

Note that single images can easily be zoomed via full page zoom (View > Zoom > [] Zoom Text Only) and Firefox will zoom large images automatically (browser.enable_automatic_image_resizing).

You can add more zoom factors if you want.
