Image Zoom 0.3.1,   (108kb)  by Jason Adams
 https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/139
would be one, you could zoom with the mouse,
and you could  right click to open image in a new tab/window
(builtin) and zoom with the mouse (extension).

If you wanted to be fancier, you could use the Launchy extensions
and bring up image editor such as  IrfanView  (irfanview.com).

Zooming of text and images is builtin to Firefox 3, but it is still
nice even in fx3 to be able zoom an  image separately.

maybe I am not making myself clear about this add on. a box pops up 
after you click on it. it can be text or image and you cannot read all 
of the text or see all of the image so you can move the sides or top 
with your arrow to see it.

I can think of a few ways to possibly fix this.

If it is a popup, you can prevent sites from using javascript to make the
popups non-resizeable.  Download and use the "JavaScript Options"
add-on.

I'm not sure if this is the same add-on you were using, but it does seem to
work.


If this doesn't work, try the following.

Type  about:config  into your location bar.
Type  link.open  into the filter box.
Set the following three entries as below:

  browser.link.open_external  =  3
  browser.link.open_newwindow  =  3
  browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction  =  0

If one or more of these does not exist by default, you will have to add
them manually.  To do so, right-click, select new, then integer, then the
name, and finally, the desired value.

This change will cause most, if not all, popups to open in new tabs instead
of as popups.  This should put an end to popups that are too small.


Another possibility is if you are referring to framed areas within a page
being too small.  Many sites prevent frames from being resized.  To get
around this,

Type  about:config  in your location bar.
Type  frames  into the filter box.
Set the following entry as below:

  layout.frames.force_resizability  =  true

If the setting does not exist by default, you will need to add it manually.
To do so, right-click, select new, then boolean, then the name, and
finally, the desired value.

This will allow frames within a page to be resizeable.  Note that it will
also put a small border around frames, which might look ugly on some pages.

FWIW, among others, I have this prefs set to 'true', in about:config, no
extension necessary:

'dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable'

Explanations here:

Of course, if the OP doesn't want to mess with about:config, then I
guess the extension would be easier.
