    Magnifier program

    I never used one of these programs but thought I would give it a try. Does anyone know of a good freeware magnifier program that I can use in firefox to enlarge a webpage but that will allow to enlarge only the webpage of just one of the tabs that I have opened within firefox?

    Have you not tried using your mouse's scroll wheel, holding down the ctrl key while scrolling up? This will enlarge the size of the webpage but not on the others you have open.

    Hi Photolady. I tried that but it doesn't enlarge the videobox on a webpage like on youtube or some other site. I was wondering if there was a magnifying program that will enlarge that as well?

    You did not say that when you first wrote what you wanted. I have no idea about what software would allow you to do that either. I don't watch videos on the internet, either website videos or youtube's.

    What operating system do you have? Because Windows, and I'm assuming all windows has this option, it's called a Magnifier and it's listed in the control panel on Windows 7 under "Ease of access>Ease of access center>Make the computer easier to see. But I don't know if that works for webpages or just windows.

    Make items on the screen appear bigger

    As for the youtube player, mouse over the three bottom right buttons.
    The end on says full screen and does nicely for me.

    Small, Larger then full screen are what the buttons say.

    Not sure if this is what you want, but you can try the NoSquint addon for FF.

    I appreciate all the input. Train, I know that you can enlarge a youtube video to full screen.

    Midknyte, what I was looking for was a magnifier that will enlarge videos on webpages that you can't enlarge it from the website. So, basically, is there a magnifier that will enlarge everything on a webpage, text, image, and video?

    So did you try NoSquint or not? That can zoom Youtube videos (along with the rest of the page).
