Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

Finally, #Mozilla #Firefox for #Linux scales correctly depending on the OS setting instead of it being huge. This had been an issue since they removed the “Density: Compact” option. (fedia.io)

version: 131.0b1

Now: Screenshot of Mozilla Firefox v131.0b1 in Linux, showing how it finally scales properly based on the OS setting instead of it being huge.

Honestly that is probably the worst type of zoom imaginable. Most websites have fonts set to a reasonable size, if you need it bumped up you can change it web wide. When I want to zoom in I want to zoom in on everything, not just the fonts leaving everything else disproportionately.

If wishing made it so.

On Android every single browser links the system font size to the web font size. This does not guarantee that the font is readable on web, just that when you make the system font bigger, the web font size (mostly) increases.

The system font size is used everywhere, on every UI element in every app, not only the web, on the home screen, the keyboard, etc. etc.

I don't want a bigger system font, because it reduces what's visible on the screen and fundamentally it doesn't actually fix the web.

The Google Message app is currently the only one that allows you to pinch zoom and increase/decrease the font size.

Finally, on desktop you can use Ctrl +/- to change the font size. That's what I want mobile pinch zoom to use.

As for zooming in on an image, on desktop, the Ctrl +/- also (depending on the stylesheet) will change the image size. If you need more, you can open the image in a new tab and use Ctrl +/- to zoom. All of this could work exactly the same as on a mobile phone with pinch zoom.

As I said, if wishing made it so.
