Hover Zoom supports a lot more sites. It's open source so hopefully the plugins can be converted to to thumbnail zoom: https://code.google.com/p/hoverzoom/source/browse/#svn%2Fsrc%2Ftrunk%2Fplugins

I've made some improvements to thumbnail zoom which lets it supports more sites like Hover Zoom does (including Reddit and most sites which embed thumbnails in hyperlinks to images). I'm happy to give the code to Andrez47 to merge into the official thumbnail-zoom, or else may release as my own fork.

Improvements? Better functionality?? Yes, PLEASE! T. Zoom has been suffering from quite a few bugs of late with no sign of work being done. I, the hordes of the intarwebs, would be extremely glad to you, Mr. Dadler, to have your improvements made available as a fork, new extension (maybe so it could be updated), or however it is so things can be moved along. It would be a great boon to not have Chrome open while surfing the web. My tab ecosystem would be so much the happier.

Hello, I've forked the thumbnail-zoom code repository and published my enhancements there (https://github.com/dadler/thumbnail-zoom). I invite Andres to merge my changes into the official version and publish a new version of the add-on.

My improvements let it support more sites, including Reddit. It adds a category called "Other". When that is enabled, it'll find images by traversing up the html tree from the thumbnail until it finds an tag linking to an image, and display that image. This allows it to work on many sites without having to explicitly be coded for those sites.

I also fixed a problem with some flickr galleries.

Hats off to you! It really works a treat. I've installed and now my browsing experience is 10x fold for the better. Reddit now won't consume so much time or memory with all the extra tabs being opened. Huzzah!

I've just updated my forked version to show large thumbnails for youtube links.

Just reporting in to say that Thumbnail Zoom - (DA) ver 1.4.3.1da is working smoothly as ever with Firefox 7 after you install the Compatibility Reporter and choose to use out of date plugins. Report sent back to Mozilla that the Dadler version is working as intended. Really, I can't thank you enough for your forked version, Dadler. It is leagues better in every area than the original version. Are there plans to continue updating?
No matter the response, I appreciate the effort you put in for it has made my life quite a bit easier as, I'm sure, it has for many others. Thanks!
