- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 13691890, 9 months agoThis newest update disables the ability to zoom the text only.
- Rated 1 out of 5by LLLLLLLllllllIIIIIiiii:::..|°|, 9 months agoThis addon is ruthless and destructive and unusable!
Developer should please correct its misbehavior:
I have tested on an old Firefox session which has several hundreds of tabs over several windows. Though after fresh start of session only few tabs are actually loaded. Yet this addon upon activating it started to hog the system's RAM like a glutton.
**Devastating result**: In Process Explorer on overall the System Commit began at 24 GB and with this addon activated it climbed and climbed to 36 GB and went on going for MORE !!
That's where I had to abort this "operation", because system RAM here is 32 GB and all became unresponsive, Firefox's windows went gray.
Luckily deactivation of addon was functioning, so Firefox survived this and OS didn't kill it.
Fellow heavy users beware! This addon will potentially kill your Firefox session !! - Rated 1 out of 5by quantumsys47@gmail.com, a year ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14004268, a year agoThis addon eats up massive memory and crashes firefox.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12218180, 2 years agoThis add-on freezes the browser and crashes the computer if you have a lot of tabs. There should be a warning about this in the description.
- Rated 1 out of 5by RailRoad_attack, 2 years agoDon't download the app! It only can zoom up to 300%... CTRL + SCROLL can zoom up to 500%. Why download an extension that does worse than FireFox?
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 5905964, 2 years agoVery quickly crashed my browser: out of memory, I think. Do not use if you have a lot of tabs.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Black🏴☠️Sails, 2 years agodoesn't work, and it asks too many persmissions, and it lagged my PC when I installed it.

Общую странцу "зуммит", а текст нет. - Rated 1 out of 5by molitar, 3 years agoVersion 19.1 is totally broken! Sankakucomplex when I open video in new tab it will not load until I hit refresh. Stick with version 19.0 it just works!

posted 3 years agoThis problem is fixed in Version 19.2, which has now been released. - Rated 1 out of 5by pound_hash, 3 years agoIt doesn't seem to work. I set the options to "let the browser manage per-site full zoom" and "zoom type" to "text". But when I use the extension to zoom, it does a full zoom instead of zooming the text only.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Meg8, 3 years agoUninstalled and using the built in functionality in Firefox. I enjoyed using this add-on before but the privacy trade off in having so many permissions just isn't worth a few niche zoom modes. The recent problems have opened my eyes. I hadn't noticed Firefox allows changing the default zoom level and remembers site specific perfectly. This add-on since 2020 is unnecessary and possibility a liability for 99% of users.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Ramakrishna, 3 years agoWhy to add this addon anymore? I discover Firefox added default zoom in version 73! It is under Options, General, Zoom. This was big problem before because Firefox can remember and save after changing site but always started with the 100%. But since v73 you can change starting level to something other 100%. Maybe some very special zoom mode exists with this addon but I think for most user there is no reason anymore. I use zoom addons for long time like No Squint because it was necessary, now I don't think so. Also I have some doubts about the permissions. Why zoom needs to access all data like password entered on site.

posted 3 years agoZoom Page WE does a lot more than just changing the default zoom level, for example, AutoFit Zoom, Text Only Zoom and Minimum Font Size. The permission to access data for all websites is necessary to provide these advanced zoom features. Please see the reply to Zigbi below for more details. - Rated 1 out of 5by Zigbi, 3 years agoReverted to version 17.3 and now all the site zoom levels I had built over 2 years are gone. Unacceptably unprofessional software development approach, this is more than just a broken untested update it is a destructive update.
I have migrated to Fixed Zoom by Ariel which works and only needs the permission:
Access browser tabs
Zoom Page We needs permissions:
Read and modify browser settings
Display notifications to you
Access browser tabs
Access browser activity during navigation
Access your data for all websites
I previously thought these permissions were necessary and named in a scary way by Firefox but seeing Fixed Zoom can do the same thing without them I question whether Zoom Page WE should be used at all, even if the update is fixed.
I strongly recommend moving to Fixed Zoom or some other alternative.Developer response
posted 3 years agoZoom Page WE 18.1 fixes this problem.
Zoom Page WE does a lot more than just changing the default zoom level, for example, AutoFit Zoom, Text Only Zoom and Minimum Font Size. The permissions listed above are necessary to provide these advanced zoom features.
To provide these advanced zoom features, Zoom Page WE needs to be able to inject a content script into each web page. This is reported by Firefox as having permission to access data for all websites. Zoom Page WE is not interested in the meaning of the data and does not do anything with the data other than changing the size of text and images. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 5494150, 3 years ago2/25/2021 update broke this app. Websites default to 100% zoom every time I open them in a new tab when I set them to 120% previously.
- Rated 1 out of 5by ziggar.uk, 3 years agodoesnt work, even suggested workround doesnt work. just keeps reinstalling vers. 18.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Upa, 3 years agoWhat happened? Is it just a bad update to be fixed or has this version deleted my per site settings? Will I have to start all over again now?
- Rated 1 out of 5by three7, 3 years agoIt doesn't work, it's bad!
After running FF with this add-on, NO page is loaded, all are white only. I DO NOT RECOMMEND! - Rated 1 out of 5by Matteo, 3 years agoAfter the last Firefox update, this add-on gives me problem on Overleaf. Hope you'll fix it because is a really useful add-on.
