posted 5 years agoThank you for the review and the updated comments. When this was a legacy addon, I was able to add zoom support. However, when we moved to webextensions, I was unable to restore the original zoom settings. This is more likely because of my own limited understanding of how to do this in webextensions. I will revisit this problem and see if I can find a solution.
Update 2019-12-11:
---------------------
Mozilla has refused to implement webextensions API's that can support custom zoom restoration without the extension developers having to write a lot of complicated code. Please refer: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1588580
Update 2020-08-31:
----------------------
Version 3.0.21 (available from August 31, 2020) tries to address this through a work-aorund. I scale the font size based on the zoom percentage rather than reset the zoom to 1 before applying the extension specified font size.
There may be a slight difference in the font size of zoomed pages (+/- 1 px; compared to the extension customized font size) due to rounding.

posted 8 months agoThank you for your feedback. You are correct that the extension is not language aware. However, there is an option/preference that can address your problem.
Please refer to the following page in the Wiki:
https://github.com/ushnisha/tranquility-reader-webextensions/wiki/005-Customize-Extension
You can set the "Text Align" option (under the "Text Display Preferences" section) to the value "right".
That should hopefully address your text alignment issue for right-to-left written languages. - Rated 5 out of 5by Vinson, 8 months agoThe best readability addon. It would be better to provide a shortcut back to the original page, like Esc or one click.
