Why doesn't the Zoom work on images in Firefox 4 ? The page Zoom works for webpages but not for pictures like Firefox 3.7 did :(

I have already seen the "page Zoom" help article and that doesn't solve the problem.

with Firefox 3.7 i could view an image and use the "control" & + & - keys to zoom in and out but with the new Firefox4 that zoom only works on webpages and does not work for images like it did before.

is there a solution to this ?

example: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar/images/a11easep.jpg

when i had Firefox 3.7 , i could zoom in and out but now it doesn't work with Firefox4

what's the deal ? : )

Check the Zoom settings: View > Zoom > Zoom Text Only


Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.

F10 and/or holding the Alt key down ... does nothing

but i download the zoom tool "add on"

it's annoying the way it's set up but at least i can get it to work now

cheers
