Saving zoom - NoSquint?

Post by ThirdTryCharm » 2016-10-01, 11:41

I have a local webserver page display that I need to zoom out a little on a win8.1 tablet. How can I save the zoom-level just for that site-page?

NoSqint Plus will do what I need, but it says "not for firefox 24.9"

Woah, slow down and smell the daisies.

Dare I point out that my second line reads as...
"NoSqint Plus will do what I need"

The "Plus" is significant. :think: :idea:

The Addon pages shows...

Now, where did I see that written before. :D :D

Ok I see what your asking, unfortunately it was not put into use until F.F. 29 as you can see from the first version posted.

So it will not work with Pale Moon at all.
I'm not sure what things in the plus version you need but the regular NoSquint still works for 26.4.1 but not v27.
I use it all the time. Personally I use the site settings for color changing and the other recommended zoom add on does not do this.
So If you need to stick with the latest version of Pale Moon you will have to use the one mentioned above by Pale Moon Rising.
My understanding is that it works well in that regard. :thumbup:

Pale Moon by default will remember site-specific zoom levels (unless you explicitly disable it or use private browsing). Just use the normal zoom controls in the browser.

Just tested and did find in my case that Pale Moon remembers the zoom setting per site after closing the browser. :thumbup:

Questions:

1) Pale Moon zoom controls do not provide zoom percentage variance from "default" (normal), is there a way to determine what percentage + or - from default that a specific webpage is set at?

2) If the answer is "NO" to question #1, what is the method to set the Pale Moon zoom controls to return to default when the webpage is closed? (absent website specific zoom percentage values I'd prefer to return to default after leaving site)

Thanks

Oh, btw - if the Pale Moon zoom controls have a way (pref setting or whatever) to display the zoom percentages value then that would address the questions above. ;)

Ctrl+0 resets the zoom (menu View/Zoom/Reset).

Thanks, that helps :thumbup: .... should have thought of checking menu (I use the Toolbar icon positioned in my Status Bar for Zoom Control, illustrated below, and didn't think to look at the menu settings, especially since I do not display the menu by default so need to use "F10" to display the menu items)

Or, have "Site Preferences" cleared on shut down. :O

According to this post, NoSquint does work with PM 27.0.0a2: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=13055#p92328.

I don't use this extension myself (nor Zoom Page) -- so don't have a user's familiarity with it -- but before posting I installed it on a fresh Tycho profile. It did seem to work as expected.
