This probably is not a EEVblog problem, but I just rebooted Firefox and now it seems to have lost short term memory for the zoom setting on some web sites and not others. I have to zoom in to read the text, presently I'm at 150% zoom. Every time I click to another page within the site the zoom setting resets to 100%. In fact, I only need to switch tabs and it resets the zoom. Restarting Firefox a couple more times does not fix the issue.
A google search didn't turn up anything... or actually far too much. There are tons of issues with the zoom setting going back for years. None that I found actually have these symptoms. Mostly they were more about new tabs, so the default setting in the options.
I guess I can try rebooting Firefox one more time.

You could set the default zoom level to 150.
Tools-->Options-->General-->Zoom
-
(Ctrl) + (+) = zoom in
(Ctrl) + (-) = zoom out
(Ctrl) + (0) = zoom reset (that’s the numeric zero key)
-
Check in about:config if you have privacy.resistFingerprinting enabled. It prevents zoom persistence because that would provide a strong browser fingerprint.

Don't know what changed, but another restart and it is working correctly again. :-//
I'm just glad. Firefox does some things other browsers don't and this is a very useful tool for me. :-+
