The submit feature menu page brought me here so I presume that iceweasel and firefox will behave the same. Recently I upgrade from 3.X.X to 6.0.2 and 7.0.1, and I noticed that whenever I visit a particular web page, and I notice the fonts are too small, so I enlarge/zoom it using control-vertical scroll to the right font size I prefer. But the next click I make put me back to the old default font size. Ended up I have to control-vertical scroll on EVERY page I visit. This was not like that when I was using 3.X.X version. And I checked other browsers they are not like that too. This behavour is it a feature or a bug ? It's really annoying to me. It is definitely not friendly to people with visual difficulties.

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
