Zoom reverts to original size

[kushykush]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Do not know if this is a bug or Firefox feature. After the zoom is adjusted (I liked it increased for larger text size), the zoom keeps reverting back to original even within the same session and when jumping to another site or tab.

By contract Internet Explorer under Windows gives you the choice of largest, large, medium, normal, and small text size. But once you adjust your text size (for example, large), Internet Explorer sets it permanently until the user changes it.

Firefox keeps changing my zoom setting every time I move the page and when it is closed and opened again.
