Change the maximum zoom level

Hi,

In my opinion the possible zoom level is a bit too small. I mean I don't really see when and the maximum I could get was like twice the normal size which is terrible because for some reason every text in Firefox is very very small.

I used to use the AOSP Browser especially because I licked it's zoom but for some reason that won't auto adjust text width anymore so I decided to try Firefox.

Is there any option to change the maximum zoom level to something much bigger then the current settings?

EternalMana,

It certainly is possible in Firefox for Desktop but I'm not sure on Android. In Firefox desktop, you can go to about:config via the Location Bar and search for zoom.maxPercent and the default is 300, you can set it higher than that if you wish. Can you try that out in Firefox for Android and let me know if it works.

Thank you very much for your answer.

I did give it a try but for some reason it doesn't seem to do anything. I did restart the Firefox app each time I changed a value in about:config but maybe there is something else I should do to have it work?

First of all thank you for your answer!

It seems that this option doesn't do anything.

I did change that option like you suggested and after that I tried a few others.

Every time I changed one of the configuration in about:config I would restart Firefox.

Maybe I am missing something?
