Firefox does not maintain magnification set. (Resolution at 1900x1280)

Computer resolution set to 1900x1280 (HDMI out to HDTV) When browsing, must use the magnifier to be able to read screens. Either by ctrl,+ or by ctrl/mousewheel.

As soon as I navigate away from a page, I have to re-magnify everything again.

Prior to updating to this version of Firefox, magnification was 'remembered' for sites that I had previously visited. Now, as soon as I leave the site, I have to re-magnify...

This is getting EXTREMELY annoying. Is there anyway I can 'force' magnification?

Details: Windows 7 Firefox browser version 3.6.13
