Ctrl + mouse wheel zooms in or out, which is nice. But it not only zooms the active tab, but also all other tabs. Is there a way to turn it off in FF 21.0? There used to be one in an earlier version, but during one of the updates since then, FF forgot the setting, and I forgot how I got there.

Set the Boolean pref browser.zoom.siteSpecific to false on the about:config page.
