Page Zoom Buttons v1.1 for Firefox
Page Zoom Buttons is an add-on for Firefox that allows you to control the full page zoom feature that is in Firefox 3. Toolbar buttons are provided to zoom in, zoom out, and reset a web page back to its default view instantly. You can choose to use a single button for all 3 zoom functions which saves toolbar space, or you can use individual buttons.
You can also use Page Zoom Buttons with Firefox 3 zoom support to zoom in and out of photos, graphics, and various documents that you may have on your computer locally and offline.

Install Options-
Install from AccessFirefox.org
Due to changes in the way that Firefox 3 handles add-ons, automatic updates for add-ons are not available if installed from sites other than AMO unless the developer(s) wants to shell out $. AccessFirefox.org is a non-profit public benefit site so chances are slim to none that we’ll be putting out money to provide a free add-on.
Install from the Firefox Add-ons site (recommended)
Choosing this option ensures that you will receive updates to Page Zoom Buttons as they are released (login is required). Please take the time to rate and/or review Page Zoom Buttons so that it can be moved to the public add-ons sections for more people to benefit from.
Download Page Zoom Buttons
Download the Page Zoom Buttons xpi file from Access Firefox to install it manually. Automatic updates are not available with this method.
Page Zoom Buttons is a collaborative effort from volunteers of the Access Firefox Project.
