Using mouse wheel scrolling to zoom out of images causes them to zoom too far out

Like the title says, whenever I try to zoom out of an image to make it smaller, it causes the image to zoom out very far in just one scroll "tick".

To be more specific, I'm talking about just scrolling (not using ctrl+scroll). An example would be with Piskel.com where you simply use the scroll wheel to zoom the canvas.

Zooming in is perfectly fine, but when I try to zoom out it seems to zoom out by 3 or 4 ticks. On some websites, such as Piskel, it even it zooms the image out all the way making it very small and impossible to see (It does it with just one scroll tick).

My question is if there is a way to change or fix the zooming, making things zoom out more incrementally. (I recently switched from Chrome which didn't have this problem)

Okay. I compared how Firefox and Chrome handle zoom out. I would say it's a site designed with Chrome in mind. You should email them and ask. support@piskelapp.com.

Thanks for the help! It does seem to be a problem with that website in particular. I tried zooming on a couple of different websites and it seems to work fine.

donthavecow, the problem has to do more with a website function than a Firefox function.

The Firefox website zoom isn't the problem, it's the zooming of an individual image/canvas/map.

The problem seems to be with just a particular website as all other websites I've tested work fine. I appreciate the help though!
