If I move a bunch of bookmarks into the same folder on one machine the bookmarks show up in the same folder on all of my other machines. If I add a bookmark on one computer it shows up on the other four. Unfortunately the last time I tried using BookmarkBridge to merge bookmarks from multiple computers I ended up with a file of all of the bookmarks from one computer - the new bookmarks from the other two computers were over-written.Ī few months ago I found a better solution when I discovered Foxmarks, a Firefox plugin that keeps all of your bookmarks automatically synchronized all of the time. I say “somewhat” because the the process is manual, requiring copying the bookmark files to one computer, doing the merge, and then copying the files back out to the individual computers that need to be updated. Until recently I used a tool called BookmarkBridge to try to keep my ever-growing list of bookmarks somewhat synchronized. On all of these systems I run Firefox as my primary web browser. If I’m headed to my company’s co-lo I take along a company laptop running openSUSE Linux. My desktop boxes at work and home both run Ubuntu Linux, I have a Mac Mini attached to my TV and a Mac Powerbook for when I travel. Click and change its setting from “cmd_fullZoomEnlarge” to “cmd_fullZoomEnlarge-disable”.(That way if I ever want to re-enable it all I have to do is remove the “-disable” part.) It’s usually set to “cmd_fullZoomReduce” and I changed that to “cmd_fullZoomReduce-disable”. The zoom in / zoom out gesture settings are and.Type “zoom” in the search bar to find settings related to zoom.
I clicked past the “this voids your warranty” disclaimer.
I typed “about:config” into the Firefox location bar to get to the configure-anything screen.
I thought there might be a Firefox setting to control this, so I looked and I found one. I tried Googling for an answer, and found a bunch of people annoyed by the same experience, but no solutions. I’ve never used the pinch gesture to zoom in on purpose, it always happens by accident, then I have to press Command-0 to reset the screen back to normal. If you browse the web using Firefox on a Mac laptop you’ve probably brushed the track pad the wrong way and accidentally zoomed in on content.
