How do I stop Firefox from storing zoom levels?

When I access a webpage and zoom in on content, if I leave the page and return in the same browsing session, the page is still zoomed in. How do I stop Firefox from storing the zoom data so a page will always start on the default zoom level, without needing to manually reset the zoom every time?

hello, normally firefox will store your zoom settings on a per-domain basis - if you want to change that, enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named browser.zoom.siteSpecific. double-click it and change its value to false.

Thanks, but I tried this and it doesn't solve the problem. Now after a user zooms in on a page, every page will be at the same zoom level. I want to set it so that leaving any page returns Firefox to the default zoom levels.
