Hi, I'm using 125% zoom normally on Reddit(classic) since I find it better for reading, but for some reason I decided to zoom out to 70%(can't remember why) and now it resets to 70% every time I close/open a tab. I tried to adjust it back to 125%, but it still resets. I went and changed the zoom max/min to 100% min and 150% max and now it stays at 100% every time. What can I do, besides resetting the whole program?

It sounds like you are setting the global zoom via Settings and this prevails over other settings.

Firefox has a Zoom section in Settings to set the default zoom level for webpages.

  • Settings -> General -> Language and Appearance -> Zoom

Firefox would normally store the page zoom you set as part of the "Site settings", but this won't work properly in Private Browsing mode or if you clear the "Site settings".
