Hi Sebastian,

I noticed that the magnifier button no longer activates the magnifier. Instead, it opens the image in a new browser tab. I don’t think this is the expected behavior.

Telescopius 5.14.36

Hi Nico,

This the expected behavior on your phone - the full res image opens in a new tab so one can zoom using the pinch-zoom gesture we all know.

On Firefox on desktop, however, this should not be happening. What FF version are you running? I can’t reproduce this issue on my FF, so I’ll try yours.
