    Anyone use a Firefox Plugin that also zooms in/out on pictures?
    ... All the ones I seem to find zoom in on text only

    A plugin that zooms on text is fine but I also need it to zoom on pictures

    Can anyone help with my little brain fart [​IMG]

    Thanks in Advance

    Did you search the Mozilla Add-ons site?
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

    Thanks for the quick response young Yoda and I found something thanks to your second link [​IMG]

    Thumbnail Zoom out of a few possibles does what I need so thanks again bud

    Although I'm still open to suggestions especially if it's a favorite or one thinks in their opinion it's simply the "cat's meow" of ZOOM plugin's, LOL

    I don't use a zoom plug in so I am by no means able to make a recommendation.  Have you looked into Google Chrome's plugins to see if that browser has something better?

    How... how does one stop using Chrome? This seems impossible...

    Also, for what it's worth, Firefox does allow you do zoom the entire page by default.
    Code:
    View< Zoom< Zoom In (Shortcut ctrl++)

    I've had annoyances along the way also.  What I noticed is that they usually had to do with Google upgrading their services.  The last one was when they worked on Gmail and it took a day or two before the crashes stopped.  I have Chrome, Firefox and Opera installed and usually live inside Chrome.  Firefox was just too buggy for me, but I am on another OS platform than you so that may be the reason why I see more Firefox bugs than Chrome bugs.

    I really want to use Opera more, but there is this very annoying issue with Opera pinging the MSN messenger port all the time and that makes Opera a non-starter for me.  I do not want my browser pinging services I do not use, much less without asking me ahead of time.

    Chrome isn't installed by default, even on Windowz.

    I hear that, they ALL seem to have one thing or another wrong with them. With my Chrome install the editor when trying to post on the forums there was some aspects that was broken and wouldn't work right. May have been my system may have been Chrome. Most likely it was MY system but either way it's GoNE!

    Yes.  I've been using Linux since around 2004.  I've used many flavors, Fedors, CentOS, Mint, OpenSUSE, ClearOS, etc. but my main old desktop is Ubuntu.

    PS Nexus: I know Firefox does have zoom and for the most part it works pretty good, but I'm the lazy type and need to have a button or something that works automatically for me. Looking for something better but thanks for the reminder anyway, again it's ALL good

    Nice! I've been using Ubuntu since Hardy Heron. It's got its downfalls, but I definitely don't miss having Windows crash every other month.

    I was a Micro$oft business partner for years.  I got sick and tired of being the bad guy in the good guy/bad guy routine.  Try telling your customers who purchased 20-30 computers two years ago that they won't run Micro$cheisse's latest operating system.  Everybody who runs Windowz just has to have the latest OS even when there are zero tangible benefits.

    Moore's Law (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore's_law) says"

    Every time Intel doubles the transistors, and performance, of their CPUs Micro$oft halves the efficiency of their OS.

    Every time I see a reference to Moore's LAW I think about the Moors occupation and rule of Iberian Peninsula {LOL} [​IMG]
