Zoom-in on webpages not remaining after re-start
I have the latest Firefox for Windows on my computer. The default font sizes when opening the browser were too large, so I zoomed in twice (using 'view', then 'zoom-in'). It worked for the session. But once I close and re-open the browser, that change didn't 'stick'. I have to zoom-in every time I re-start Firefox. Tried just about everything that I can think of, but nothing seems to work (even changing the 'tools', 'options', 'fonts and colors'...because that messed up some websites that I use).
Any advice would be most appreciated.

In case you use "Clear history when Firefox closes" or otherwise clear history:
- do not clear the Site Preferences
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": [X] "Clear history when Firefox closes" > Settings
- https://support.mozilla.org/kb/remove-recent-browsing-search-and-download-history
Clearing "Site Preferences" clears all exceptions for cookies, images, pop-up windows, software installation, passwords, and other website specific data.

Thanks alot. The other solution worked, but I'm going to play with this add-on anyways. Might be useful for specific websites. Thanks again!

You can specify your preferred zoom levels:
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
