zooming addon package
Hi folks,
F7 x86_64 Firefox Not many add-on available for 64bit version Firefox. I'm looking for a software addon to Firefox which can zoom images on webpage simultaneously together with the text. Any suggestion? TIA B.R. satimis |
I use Image Zoom. Set the "Zoom with text" option, and you can zoom the page with ctrl+ / ctrl- and reset to default with ctrl0.
Also, on Fedora x86_64 you can install the 32-bit Firefox with: yum install firefox-32 |
Hi macemoneta,
Tks for your advice. Quote:

There's no advantage to running Firefox in 64-bit. It uses more memory and doesn't benefit from the 64-bit instructions. As you discovered, it also causes compatibility issues. There are really only a few conditions where 64-bit is of value (4GB+ RAM, video encoding, some scientific apps, some graphics apps). You want to use Firefox in 32-bit only. These issues are usually why I recommend installing 32-bit distributions on x86_64 CPUs for most folks.

I don't game nor do/run video encoding/scientific apps/graphic editing. What will be the advantage running 64bit OS paying money to upgrade the PC? Quote:

The performance can actually be lower in 64-bit mode, as applications are larger, take more I/O to load and they use more memory which can put pressure on cache. This is offset somewhat by having additional registers, but not noticeably for most applications. I have a machine that does automated image capture, processing and video encoding. That machine benefits from an x86_64 distribution, but my other machines (used as desktops) do not. |
