Just updated Firefox and now all web pages are too big. I do not want to have to change size of every page I open so how do I set web page default size?

Hi, in Firefox there is no one-size-fits-all zoom. Instead, the zoom level you set is remembered for each site you visit.

More - Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

Try to set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0 (default is -1) on the about:config page. If necessary adjust its value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) until icons or text looks right.

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.

You can look at the Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

That is not true in my experience. Firefox always initially loads pages with the universal default zoom level -- even the pages which it "saves" when I close the browser, then reloads when I run Firefox again.

If what you say is true, then where does Firefox save the zoom level for each and every page? That could be an extremely large file(!!).
