I have always had the zoom setting for Firefox at 120. Suddenly, yesterday, it stopped working. It is still set for 120, but all of the web pages have gotten smaller (about 100). I tried deleting the setting and resetting it, but no luck. I have the most recent version of the browser and nothing else has been changed. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

This may be better. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint-plus/ NoSquint Plus by Baris Derin

Manage site-specific zoom levels and color settings

You can rename (or delete) the content-prefs.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder to reset the page zoom for all websites.

Type about:support<enter> in the address bar.

Under the page logo on the left side, you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To its right press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.

Locate the above file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.

Thanks. I used to use No Squint for a long time and did not realize it had been updated to work again. This solves my problem. Happy New Year.
