## Description

Fixed Zoom is a powerful Firefox extension designed to address the browser's limitation of defaulting all pages to 100% zoom. With Fixed Zoom, users can set a custom default zoom level that applies to all websites, ensuring a personalized and consistent browsing experience. Additionally, it offers the flexibility to create custom zoom rules for specific websites, tailoring the view to your preferences per site.

Unlike Firefox's native behavior, which requires manual zooming that resets when history is cleared, Fixed Zoom saves your zoom preferences indefinitely using storage permissions. The extension matches your specified zoom rules with the current website URL, applying your chosen zoom seamlessly. For feedback or feature requests, users can reach out via email or visit the extension's GitHub repository. With its simple setup and user-centric functionality, Fixed Zoom enhances readability and accessibility across the web.

## Review summary

Users praise Fixed Zoom for being simple, lightweight, and reliably setting site zooms. Repeated complaints note dark-theme UI/toolbar visibility issues, that zoom rules apply globally to all open tabs (leading to delays), and that the add-on appears outdated or archived and needs maintenance.

### Pros

- Simple, minimalistic and easy to use interface
- Effectively sets zoom levels for sites as intended
- Uses minimal permissions and has a small footprint (lower size/low resource)

### Cons

- UI and popup have visibility problems with Firefox dark themes; toolbar icon can be invisible
- Zoom rules are applied across all tabs (not per-tab), causing many tabs to be changed and performance delays
- Extension appears outdated/unmaintained (archived GitHub, dated UI)
