tabs.ZoomSettingsMode

Defines how zoom changes are handled. Extensions can pass this value into {{WebExtAPIRef("tabs.setZoomSettings()")}} to control how the browser handles attempts to change zoom settings for a tab. Defaults to "automatic".

Type

Values of this type are strings. Possible values are:

• "automatic"
  • : Zoom changes are handled normally by the browser.
• "disabled"
  • : Disables all zooming in the tab. The tab will revert to the default zoom level, and all attempted zoom changes will be ignored.
• "manual"
  • : The extension will handle zoom changes itself, by listening for the {{WebExtAPIRef("tabs.onZoomChange")}} event and scaling the page accordingly. This mode does not support per-origin zooming: it will ignore the scope zoom setting and always use per-tab.
