Is there anyway to set my own zoom levels, like we used to be able to, you know, like 10 years ago?

I used to have my own zoom levels that went up 10% all the way to 300%, then started 25% intervals.

For example, my levels from 100% to 200% looked like this: 100%, 110%, 120%, 130%, 140%, 150%, 160%, 170%, 180%, 190%, 200%.

So, is there any way to do this now?

But what kind of zoom? Ctrl+wheel or Ctrl+ +/-?

Doesn't matter, the zoom levels are fixed no matter how I choose to change them:

100-110-120-133-150-170-200-240-300

You can only change the Ctrl + +/- zoom by going to about:config and editing the toolkit.zoomManager.zoomValues preference.

Note that zooming by rotating the mouse wheel with Ctrl pressed adjusts the zoom in 10% changes starting with the current zoom value.

Well that's sure nifty, thanks!  :-)

Still want the ability to do Ctrl+ in 10% intervals as well...

You need to set toolkit.zoomManager.zoomValues to a string of values in the range that you use.

  • .4,.5,.6,.7,.8,.9,1,1.1,1.2,1.3,1.4,1.5,1.6,1.7,1.8,1.9,2,2.1,2.2,2.3,2.4,2.5,2.6,2.7,2.8,2.9,3,3.25,3.5,3.75,4,4.25,4.5,4.75,5,6,7,8,9,10

Also adjust these if necessary:

  • zoom.minPercent = 40
  • zoom.maxPercent = 1000

I've done what you suggested above.

The max is still just 300% (for both Ctrl+MouseWheel and Ctrl++).

Also, doing Ctrl++ still uses Firefox defaults (ignores the values I saved in toolkit.zoomManager.zoomValues).

Did you close and restart Firefox after changing the zoom prefs ? Are you using zoom related extensions that might override these prefs ?

Are the zoom settings stored in prefs.js if you check this file with Firefox closed ?

You can use the button on the "Help -> More Troubleshooting Information" (about:support) page to go to the current Firefox profile folder or use the about:profiles page.
