Per-tab zoom

Unread post by PhilK » 2016-09-03, 14:24

I became quite attached to this feature that Opera pioneered back in the day.

I can zoom pages in PM but it's a global zoom, as far as I can tell. Generally I just want to make something larger/smaller on a particular page, not on every single tab I have open.

So I can't zoom something on tab 12 without messing up all my other open tabs.

(I see this in about config - which if it does what I assume it does should help, tho not really the full solution I was hoping for: "browser.zoom.siteSpecific")

Zoom Page should do this, and the developer appears to support Pale Moon too (if only minimally).

Pale Moon remembers individual zoom levels per site!

The default for browser.zoom.siteSpecific is true, which remembers zoom levels for individual sites.
If you don't like the fact that background tabs on the SAME sites are also updated when you change the zoom level, set browser.zoom.updateBackgroundTabs to false.

Very interesting - I'm quite sure I never changed that value (or even looked-at/accessed it) until now. Is it possible the default was false for an old version? (I don't think I've re-installed any instances of PM on any system I've installed it on so far. This particular instance was originally installed 2015-04)

Thanks for the tip on the second setting tho - that sounds like a good combination for me then. :thumbup:
