hello AngB, what you've described is the expected default behaviour in firefox, since it will remember your custom zoom settings on a per-domain basis and apply it to each page from that domain.

if you want to change that, enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.zoom.siteSpecific. double-click it and change its value to false.
