Comments
Would it be possible to make "image fit" an available default preference? Seems a logical thing to do, and this is the only reason many might want your extension -- to make huge images people send in emails easier to view in them.

I just gave your app a 5 on the FF extensions dload section.
For me, it has made the program 100% better to use.
I suggest that for your screenshots section, perhaps you have a stillshot of the Firefox download site -- and show the logo zoomed in really large, and have a right-click menu showing all the options.
Just a suggestion, as currently you have no screenshots on their site for a VERY visual extension.
PEACE & GREAT JOB!

Since buying a high-density LCD monitor, I've searched for months trying to find a way to overcome the way windows-based Mozilla/Seamonkey (and firefox) currently ignore windows DPI settings (and have their own dpi customizing dead feature). For nearly all this time, I've been running at reduced resolution, just for my browser.
I finally happened upon a reference to your plugin. When I tried it and saw the "zoom with text" option, I was elated!! Although mozilla still needs to develop DPI awareness, this is enough to be able to run my monitor at full resolution. I am so grateful for your writing of this app--it is so needed. And there are other WAY-COOL options! But image zooming with text is what i need--and it works great! Thanks for ending months of searching. To my knowledge, there is no current DPI solution other than Image Zoom.
A bonus feature of ImageZoom is that Zooming Images with Text will increase the size of many tables and keep the text inside frames properly!! Without ImageZoom, the zoomed text more often overflows cell boundaries.
PS--Nice touch on the narrow/normal/wide site selections (I normally browse with my monitor pivoted to vertical mode). You are clearly a considerate person.

Thank you very much for this extension!
+1 to make "image fit" an available default preference.

This extension is really great, but you should add support for svg-images.

I like the one click to large image but miss the old version where you could hold down the mouse button and then move the mouse to enlarge to the size you wanted. Also, not having a middlw mouse button leaves me with no way to revert back to the original size. If I am not getting it please let me know.

Are you going to update this for the new 2.0? It does not work on the Beta 2 of ThunderBird. I really like the extension.

Thanks a lot for the plugin. It's very simple and very useful, and the quick walkthrough was clear and helpful.

What a terrific addition to my arsenal of shortcuts. So glad I found it. I just wish it would transfer to use in my email or more importantly when I use clip art in Word.
