Firefox keeps forgetting the Zoom setting per page...

Hi!

While surfing the archives of the Dilbert cartoons, I have to zoom in on the sunday cartoon otherwise it is too small. But Firefox 4 keeps forgetting the zoom setting.

Everytime I click the next cartoon or even refresh the page the setting is back to standard. This behavior is similar on all websites, e.g. google.

Any suggestion? Thanks in advance! wohlgetan

Hi!

Thanks a lot,changing the settings as you proposed from "Permanent Private Browsing mode" did the trick, I customized a setting which both fits my need for privacy and convenient surfing experience.

Thanks again!
