Thread: Controlling the page and text zoom independently and page specifically in Firefox3.x

Although a high resolution displays many objects, the small letters are hard to read. If you zoom In to the page, all contents are zoomed with it.

With the free add-on NoSquint, you can control the text zoom independent of other objects and separately for each website. Download this add-on from 'https:llurandom, ca/nosqulnt', you can control the text zoom independent of other objects and separately for each website. For installation, click on the website, on the link 'Add to firefox' or open the concerned XPI-file with Firefox. Setting up the add-on must be confirmed with a click on 'Install now' and finally restart the browser. Now, first all pages are enlarged. To configure the add-on, select 'Tools I Add-ons' in the Firefox menu, then select »NoSquint« in the list of add-ons and click on »Settings«. In the »Options« tab, change the default value 'Default full page zoom level' back to '100 0/0' or enter any desired value. Select the »Primary zoom method« in the combination field, such as the fast zoom setting by turning the mouse wheel while pressing [Ctrl). With the standard setting 'Full page zoom', you can customize the Website overall in the size, while, with the 'Text Zoom', you can only change the font size. Through the dialog settings, a separated regulation is possible. The other options need not be customized. Later you can change the zoom setting of a website considerably faster, by holding the (Ctrl) key pressed and turning the mouse-wheel.

For separate control of text- and page zoom, click in the status bar of the browser on the zoom symbol. With the two slide controllers, select the desired values in percent. The tool then saves this setting automatically for the respective current domain of the website. In case of a new visit in future, you can then see the pages immediately in the customized display.
