I do allot of shopping on Ebay and a couple of Firefox versions ago I could have the mouse pointer hover over an image and it would enlarge so I could get a better view but now that is not happening and I need to know how to get that feature back. Thanks

Did you just hover over image without clicking? If you left-click on the image, you enlarge it.

Otherwise I know what you mean, but I am afraid it depends on the source code of the website. Example for what I think: Amazon website.

And fortunately, in this case, you can try this add-on, Hover Hand. Description: "Auto pop up images without having to click on the links. Only need to hover/mouse over the image link."

Mhhh… eBay is not listed, even in the full list, not a good sign… And actually Hover Hand will not be better, it works with URL, while enlarging images on eBay works with JavaScript.

the add-on worked for other sites but not on Ebay, another person informed me of this. Anyway I have used Firefox for quite a while now and a few versions ago if the mouse hovered over and Ebay listing image it would enlarge if and I loved that feature but ever sense one of the latest updates was installed it stopped working. I hope my question is not confusing and I appreciate any feedback.
