## Description

SmoothZoom is a Firefox add-on that enables smooth zooming and panning of web pages. It is particularly useful for Firefox on X11 where touchpad smooth zoom is not supported, as well as desktop PCs without a touchpad. To zoom, press Ctrl + Alt and move the mouse up and down. To pan, press Shift + Alt and move the mouse around. Please note that the add-on is in alpha version and currently has some limitations, such as no upper limit for zoom, no configuration options, and a fixed minimum scale at 100%.
