Hi TnTiger61, where is the 90% set -- is that on the Preferences page?

That is the default level, but Firefox still lets you set site-specific zoom levels using the regular controls, such as:

  • main menu button > Zoom controls
  • Ctrl+ and Ctrl-
  • hold down the Ctrl key and scroll the mouse wheel (not sure if this happens on Linux)
  • optional zoom toolbar buttons

The address bar will show a zoom percentage on a reset button if the zoom level saved for the current site is different from your default zoom level.

Does that make sense of what's going on, or is it more random than that?

Try the Firefox version from the official Mozilla server if you currently use a version from the repositories of your Linux distribution.
