I switched to Firefox from Boat, and in the Boat browser, it would automatically zoom in 50% or so to make text and images more viewable. I can't find a similar option in Firefox; does it exist?

Default zoom percentage:

In the past has been fixed by this changing:

  1. Type about:config into the Firefox address bar and tap on the Enter key.
  2. If the warning This might void your warranty appears, click I'll be careful, I promise.
  3. Search for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and change to -1.0

However there is about:config that affects a default zoom to be remembered per website: "browser zoom site specific "

Some add ons developed to help out with this also are:

The layout.css.devPixelsPerPx was already set to -1.0

Neither Default FullZoom Level nor No Squint are updated to FF28.0.1

Actually, the mobile addon search site wouldn't even show them; I had to type the whole explicit address in manually and try to download each before it finally said "could not be installed because <x> is not compatible with FireFox..."
