From the add-on review by bwProductions on December 18, 2011:

> For some reason, this extension includes a (long since fixed) bug I reported last year in the original Thumbnail Zoom -- the zoom panel doesn't respect the user's page zoom setting. I browse at 200% zoom on my TV using "NoSquint", and because Thumbnail Zoom Plus displays images 1:1, they often appear smaller than the original thumbnail. When this issue is resolved, I'll gladly upgrade my rating to five stars!

Developer's comments:

That's a good idea, though I'm not sure if all users would like it; if not, I'd need to add a preference. The potential problem is when the user is zoomed up to see tiny thumbs better, but wouldn't actually want to see a zoomed-up and so pixelated or fuzzy version of the popup image.

As an alternative or separate issue, I might add a feature which lets the user see the popup at bigger than 100%, no matter what his page zoom is. EG when the popup is showing, hitting Shift might show the image at 200% or more.
