FireFox assumes that text size is the same for all pages in a domain, rferl.org for example. That is _not_ true. If I have set size to 50% and then take a link to a page that's different and have to set size to 67% to read it, when I return to the original page, size is 67% and text is too large.

Thanks, TyDraniu, That worked.

Why the default is 'True' is beyond my understanding. Why there is even such a setting is beyond my understanding.

The saga continues...

I'm at the BBC web site. The text is a perfect size, readable but no wasted space. Then I click a link that loads in the same tab. I adjust the zoom because the text is too small. Later, I use the 'back' button to return to the original page. The text is too large. Yes, browser.zoom.siteSpecific is false.

Is there some other setting that needs to be set?
