Fixed Zoom is a powerful Firefox extension designed to address the browser's limitation of defaulting all pages to 100% zoom. With Fixed Zoom, users can set a custom default zoom level that applies to all websites, ensuring a personalized and consistent browsing experience. Additionally, it offers the flexibility to create custom zoom rules for specific websites, tailoring the view to your preferences per site.

Unlike Firefox's native behavior, which requires manual zooming that resets when history is cleared, Fixed Zoom saves your zoom preferences indefinitely using storage permissions. The extension matches your specified zoom rules with the current website URL, applying your chosen zoom seamlessly. For feedback or feature requests, users can reach out via email or visit the extension's GitHub repository. With its simple setup and user-centric functionality, Fixed Zoom enhances readability and accessibility across the web.

User reviews

Users appreciate Fixed Zoom for its simplicity, minimal permissions, small size, and reliable domain-based zoom functionality. However, many mention its outdated user interface that doesn't support dark themes well, causing visibility problems. Additionally, zoom changes affect all open tabs, slowing performance when many tabs are open. Users desire more granular control over URLs, easier manual zoom level input, and improved rule editing features. Overall, the add-on is valued for basic zoom tasks but could benefit from UI and functional enhancements.

Pros

Simple, easy to use, and very useful with minimal permissions.
Minimalistic settings that cover essential zoom functions without complexity.
Smaller add-on size compared to other zoom extensions.
Reliable and trusted zoom add-on by users.
Supports setting zoom levels per domain with some customization options.

Cons

UI is outdated and not compatible with Firefox's dark theme, causing visibility issues.
Zoom changes apply to all open tabs leading to delays when many tabs are open.
Lack of finer control over specific URL paths or individual pages within a domain.
No option to manually input custom zoom levels easily.
Editing existing zoom rules is cumbersome; lacks easy editing and copying of complex rules.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Fixed Zoom requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.
