The code below was broken by the FF7 update. When you click on the image moving the mouse should scan across the enlarged image. Problem happens with Windows 7 as well.

The Tools > Error Console show error about parsing the value of top an left, so something else is wrong.

A good place to ask advice about web development is at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum.
The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.

xPos=(ev.pageX-PhotoSm.x)/PhotoSm.width;
yPos=(ev.pageY-PhotoSm.y)/PhotoSm.height;
I noticed that:
PhotoSm.x and PhotoSm.y have a value of undefined, so xPos and yPos become NaN (not a number).
In the documentation it says: The HTMLImageElement x and y properties have been removed.

So maybe that is the reason that it's broken.

I have tried this on my own computer. It do not know about older versions but it seems to work in Firefox 7 when you use the same code for xPos and yPos in Firefox as in IE. I get some kind of magnifier effect.

if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft") > -1)
{
ev=event;
}
xPos=(ev.clientX+document.body.scrollLeft-targetLeft)/PhotoSm.width;
yPos=(ev.clientY+document.body.scrollTop-targetTop)/PhotoSm.height;
