New Page Zoom Buttons v1.1
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. Page Zoom Buttons will work in Firefox 2 but only the text will be zoomed.
Page Zoom Buttons 1.1 for Firefox has just been released and it includes some great improvements. To increase usability and provide more options, 3 new buttons have been added.
Zoom button
The Zoom button allows you to zoom in, zoom out, and reset the zoom from a single toolbar button by either clicking or scrolling on the Zoom button.
Click Zoom button
The Click Zoom button allows you to zoom in, zoom out, and reset zoom from a single toolbar button by clicking on the Click Zoom button.
Scroll Zoom button
The Scroll Zoom button allows you to zoom in, zoom out, and reset zoom from a single toolbar button by scrolling the mouse wheel over the Scroll Zoom button.
Individual buttons
3 individual page zoom buttons are still provided to zoom in, zoom out, and reset zoom.
Other Updates-
Now compatible with Firefox 3 Beta 5 - 3.0pre.
(still compatible with 2.0x but only the text is zoomed)
New Options, About, and Credits windows.
New landing page for post installation
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.
Special thanks to developers Michael Buckley and Lou Cypher for their awesome work on Page Zoom Buttons.
Thanks Lou
And thanks for writing the code for the single zoom buttons. My favorite is the Zoom button but I use the Click Zoom button myself. I find that it responds and zooms the quickest. It's probably my most used add-on now.
I've already received a feature request to reverse the way that scroll zoom works so that when you scroll up, it zooms out instead of in. I may agree with this because when you use Firefox's method of Ctrl+ scroll up, it zooms out so perhaps the scroll zoom in Page Zoom Buttons should be configured to work the same way as Firefox.
What do you think?

Mods
Here's the mod with options: page_zoom_buttons-1.1-fx.xpi
Currently no UI for the options, but you can set them from the about:config
Type "pagezoombuttons" in about:config "Filter" field
Just double click the preferences to toggle true/false
If "reverseClick" is "true", left click on Click Zoom button becomes zoom out and vise-versa.
If "reverseScroll" is "true, scroll up on Scroll Zoom button becomes zoom out and vise-versa.

Cool
That was fast!
I'm sure that Michael will be able to add it to the Options menu for the next version.
I at least have it now in case there are more requests.
BTW
I was mistaken about scrolling.
I was confusing scrolling up for scrolling down.
Thanks for your work on this Lou.
Firefox 3
Ctrl + scroll up does zoom in on Firefox 3
but I agree it should have options in the future.

Woops
Sorry about that.
I was in Fx 2 when I wrote that part about scroll zooming.
Woops 2
and I was on Fx 3 when I wrote the code :D
I didn't realize ctrl+scroll up was for zoom out on Fx 2
Before you wrote PZB, I usually use ctrl++, ctrl+-, ctrl+0 because – like your opinion about Click Zoom button – they're quicker than scrolling.

Nice buttons
I love the new button images :)
