what is the command for zooming in on firefox? Or is it a preference setting? In Chrome you just use the touch pad like an iPad. (I have a laptop)
both safari and firefox are command(⌘) shift + to zoom in and command(⌘) shift - to zoom out.
safari also works the same way with a touchpad, either double tap in an area to zoom in on that area or pinch with two fingers
firefox does support zoom in/out on a touchpad but it's not on by default. here are the directions to turn it on:
1) open firefox and enter this in the address bar and hit enter/return: about:config
2) in the search field on the page that just loaded type in: Gesture
3) double click on each of these preferences and paste in the cmd_ value in the popup box:
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
OR try a plugin like this for firefox:
