Why is mousewheel.with_control.action = 5 not the default in 2024 ? or at least an accessibility features ? I have multiple over the years had to help my older parents with `broken` website due to the actual default increasing the font size instead of behaving as a pinch and zoom

The normal zoom is permanent and saved globally or per-site. Pinch zoom is not suitable for this role as it clips page content and is only meant to be used temporarily.

Make sure "Zoom text only" is disabled, this is the default state.

You can make feature suggestions at connect.mozilla.org.

Firefox has a Zoom section in Settings to set the default zoom level for webpages.

  • Settings -> General -> Language and Appearance -> Zoom
