In addition to the site-specific zoom preference there is also a global zoom level that is applied to all sites that do not have a site-specific value, see bug 414636 comment #0 for a short explanation. This global setting is also stored using the nsIContentPrefService and so would also be removed by the patch here, I think. There is no UI in Firefox to set the global value (bug 332275), but this could be provided by an extension.

Maybe non site-specific prefs should not be stored using the content pref service at all, but that is how it's currently done.

Myk: Is there a convention for "global" values in the content pref service (e.g. a NULL group like for "full-zoom")? If so, using:

dbConnection.executeSimpleSQL("DELETE FROM prefs WHERE groupID IS NOT NULL");

might work without deleting such global values.
