When searching for something using Firefox for Android, the web results page are readable. When a link is clicked (i.e. a website is visited) and then you go back to the web results page the page is zoomed in, the text is huge and the page is unreadable.

Using version 58

How do I fix this reocurring issue? Has been happening for 1 week.

On the settings under Accessibility part of my About:firefox home page the always enable zoom and the use system font size are not turned on.

I have turned on the use system font size and still have the same issue.

For me this has been happening for several versions of Firefox on Android, not just 58. I use a Samsung S5 & Firefox 59.0b9

It occurs seemingly randomly like this: I follow a link, then using the "back" button on the phone I return to the referring page. The text is large and cannot be reduced in size. I click the refresh "arrow" in the Firefox menu and the text becomes even larger. This can go on until only a single character fills the screen!
