Hello,
I would like to use Firefox as my main browser, but the one feature holding me back right now is the lack of a smart zoom. I am a Mac and iOS user who is used to being able to double tap or hit a button and have the page automatically zoom to display the current text as wide as the browser window. I first start using this on iOS with Safari on my iPhone.
On my Mac desktop I later started using this with Safari. Now Google Chrome has added this feature. I have heard that Opera has it as well.
Are there any plans to add this feature? I have found no native or add on support that works like smart zoom on Safari and Chrome. I saw in the forums some reference to work being added in 2006/2007 for smart zoom, but it does not seem that it has been added unless I am missing something.
Thank you!

Click & hold, Zoomr.

Re: Smart zoom feature?
Sorry, I should have mentioned that I have already determined that NoSquint and Zoomr do not work like smart zoom on Safari / Zoomr, and are not usable for smart zoom in their current forms. Also, they both do not appear to be in active development.
