In chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, & Brave) there are two buttons at the bottom-right corner of the browser window for zooming in and out of Excel spreadsheets. In Firefox and Waterfox, these buttons do not appear. How do I enable these buttons or at the very least, how do I zoom in on these spreadsheets so I can focus on a single cell more efficiently?
As a workaround, I can CTRL + Scroll to zoom in and out, and I guess for now that will have to work. On a laptop without a mouse, the workaround doesn't seem to work very well. With a mouse though, it works well.

I assume that Microsoft uses some trick for that which doesn't work in Firefox, but that's just a guess. Maybe it's the CSS zoom property that Mozilla never implemented because it was nonstandard (MDN).

If you hold the Ctrl key and tap the + key or - key, that is very similar to mouse scroll wheel scrolling, but there might be a bigger difference between the zoom levels.
