Thumbnail Zoom Plus end-of-life and an alternative

September 27, 2017 16 comments

I regret to announce that Thumbnail Zoom Plus will stop working in Firefox 57 and beyond, which is now in the Firefox beta channel and is scheduled for general release on November 14, 2017.

Thumbnail Zoom Plus requires functions which Mozilla (Firefox’s developers) removed from Firefox 57. Making it work in 57 would require a major re-write of Thumbnail Zoom Plus, which is not feasible.

Fortunately there is a similar add-on by another developer which seems to work well and works in Firefox 57: Imagus.

Thanks to the up to 125,000 daily users who’ve used Thumbnail Zoom Plus and sent me helpful suggestions and bug reports.

Released version 4.1; fixes facebook, imgur galleries, etc.

Version 4.1 is now released, with these changes since 4.0:

Web site changes:

Fixed Facebook profile image pop-ups.
Fixed imgur.com galleries to once again be recognized as galleries and support navigation with left and right arrow keys.
Disabled attempting to show pop-ups for *.gifv images on Imgur. Gifv images have been showing an error indicator and not popping up since June 2016, when imgur.com stopped providing webm images. These can no longer work for technical reasons.
Fixed instagram.com (was broken for some users)
Fixed imdb.com to work even if the Amazon checkbox is disabled.
Fixed “Others (Indirect)” for some pop-ups.

Feature changes:

Hotkey ‘y’ now searches for the image on Yandex.com (and ‘g’ searches on Google Images, as before).
Removed the ‘x’ hotkey (which used to disable Thumbnail Zoom Plus, and caused confusion when accidentally pressed).
Pressing the ‘key to not display’ , such as Control (see TZP Preferences) now pops down the pop-up. This works as long as the same key is not the configured ‘key to maximize the image’.
Supports Firefox versions as old as 24.
Supports the Pale Moon browser (a Firefox fork).
Increased “Save Full-size ImageAs” max default filename length from 32 to 64 characters.

Adds compatibility with up-coming Firefox versions 46-48.
Compatible with Firefox as old as version 27.

I’ve just released version 3.7beta1. It fixes some compatibility problems with older versions of Firefox (e.g. 28) and with Pale Moon. If you were having that problem, let me know if this fixes it.

This version also improves support for slimgur.com.

Version 3.6 is now available. Changes since 3.5:

Fixed Facebook profile images. They may appear more slowly than before (this is unavoidable due to Facebook.com site changes).
Added site wallhaven.cc
Added partial support for multi-process Firefox (for future versions of Firefox ).
Fixed yelp.com photos
Removed ‘d’ hotkey (which used to set the default zoom level)
