Default zoom not working

I am using the current version of Waterfox G3.2.0. No matter what I set my default zoom to in preferences, every tab I open defaults to a previous value I had set for the default zoom. I have only set the default zoom once which was the previous time @ 150%. Now every tab opens @ 150%. I have tried closing all tabs and then settings a new value in preferences and then opening a first tab which didn't work.

The following comment is for Firefox, and may or may not apply to Waterfox.

I don't think changing the default zoom level overrides previously saved site-specific zoom levels. So for example, if you zoomed a site to 120%, that should still apply even if the default changes from 100% to 150%. But I confess I haven't played with that setting for a long time now.

There probably is a way to flush site-specific zoom levels from previous sessions, but the one that comes to mind also might flush site-specific permissions, which could be annoying...

I have already changed the 'browser.zoom.siteSpecific' to false and also set 'privacy.resistFingerprinting' to false and have repeated the close all tabs cycle with no success in fixing this issue.
