I often use trackpad to zoom in. In chrome this does not change the page layout, the display percentage. It's just like a magnifier. This is a handy function, and I want to know how to have this for firefox?

Hi, thank you Happy112. This add-on smooths zooming. But still it works in the same way as Firefox's default zoom. Safari and Chrome has a different mechanism. They have two "zooms". One changes the page layout which is done by command + plus/minus. Another just acts like a magnifier without changing the rendition of the page, which is done through trackpad. I really want to have the second type of zoom for Firefox.
