This extension works for the Firefox browser only.
Firefox may be downloaded from the Firefox home page.
ViewDouble version 1.1 works with Firefox up to version 2.
ViewDouble version 1.2 works with Firefox versions 2 and 3 (tested on Firefox versions 2 and 3RC1).
ViewDouble version 1.3 works with Firefox versions 2,3 and 3.5 (tested on Firefox versions 3 and 3.5).
ViewDouble version 1.4 works with Firefox versions 2,3, 3.5, 3.6 (tested on Firefox version 3.6).
ViewDouble version 1.6 works with Firefox versions 2,3, 3.5, 3.6, 4, 5 (tested on Firefox version 5).
Firefox 2, 3, 4 and 5 users: Download the ViewDouble.xpi file version 1.6 and save it, for example on your desktop.
Firefox 2 users may still use the version 1.1 if they like by downloading ViewDouble.xpi file version 1.1 to the desktop. It works just the same but the URL bar looks a little tidier!
In Firefox, in the File menu, choose Open File...
Browse to the location that you have saved the file, and click open.
You will get a confirmation screen like this:
Click the install button. If all is Ok then you will get a screen like this:
Click the Restart Firefox button. Firefox will close and reload, and the extension should now work correctly.
If you want to uninstall it, choose the Add-ons item from the Firefox Tools menu. Select View Double in the list and click the Uninstall button.
To upgrade View Double to a newer version, just follow the instructions for installation. There is no need to uninstall it first.
Once it is installed, click here for how to use it.
v1.0 | 15th May 2008 | First version |
v1.1 | 17th May 2008 | Moved zoom buttons to the top on Werner's suggestion |
v1.2 | 26th May 2008 | Now works with Firefox 3. Changes to the security of the document.open() method in Firefox 3 mean that the HTML for the new window has to generated in a totally different way, using a data: url. Sorry, this looks messy in the URL bar. Solutions please! |
v1.3 | 20th July 2009 | Now works with Firefox 3.5. No changes to the workings, just updated the version so that Firefox 3 will load it. |
v1.4 | 25th January 2009 | Now works with Firefox 3.6. No changes to the workings, just updated the version so that Firefox 3.6 will load it. |
