How can I zoom other than the default %? I want to do 85% on some pages and can't get there.
I do not like the new tools feature, liked the toolbar better. I can no longer zoom to the required %, only is in whole numbers by 10's. Sometimes need to use in between setting to get pages to display right and be readable. Can't figure out how to do that. You cannot click in the 100% box and change it, only the + and - buttons.
Chosen solution
Was there previously a control that let you dial in any size you liked? I don't remember that... could it have been an add-on control? To see whether you still have that control, you can use the Customize feature and possibly drag it back to your toolbar.
- "3-bar" menu button > Customize
For the built-in + and - buttons, you can modify the steps. By default, the enlargement options are:
1.1 => 110% 1.2 => 120% 1.33 => 133% 1.5 => 150% 1.7 => 170% 2 => 200% 2.4 => 240% 3 => 300%
By default, the reduction steps are:
.9 => 90% .8 => 80% .67 => 67% .5 => 50% .3 => 30%
To add more steps, you can edit this list in Firefox's about:config preferences editor. Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box that appears above the list, type or paste zoom and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the toolkit.zoomManager.zoomValues preference and edit as desired. Since it's a little hard to read, you might want to copy it to a word processor or other program where you can zoom the text, edit it there, then copy back the revised version.
For example, to add 85% as a step, you would insert it here:
.3,.5,.67,.8,.85,.9,1,1.1,1.2,1.33,1.5,1.7,2,2.4,3
Note #1: After OK'ing this change, it will take effect in any new windows you open. Existing windows/tabs appear to remember the setting in effect at the time you opened them. (To move a tab to a new window, right-click the tab on the tab bar > Move to New Window.)
Note #2: if the preference becomes a mess, you can right-click > Reset it to restore the default.
