How can I set a default zoom for the browser (freeze it)?
Hello, there's an option of using the Ctrl + + to zoom the Web page, but it reverts to the Firefox default zoom in the midst which is very annoying. Generally, I'd like to be able to set a certain default zoom level and then only if needed use the CTRL +/- zoom in and out options. So my optimal zoom level is used for all my browsing unless I change it.

I have listed 2 add-ons below for you to consider. I have not used NoSquint, but I use and rely on Default FullZoom Level.
- You can set a default zoom level in DFZL Options
- You can use the mouse scroll wheel on the Add-on Bar DFZL icon to increase or decrease the zoom or click the icon and choose from the available zoom percentages.
- In NoSquint, it says it saves the zoom level by web site/page.
- Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
- NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/

You can also set a "Minimum Font Size" in Firefox Options > Content > Fonts & Colors Advanced".
