My NoSquint zoom settings are all screwed up. They magnify and de-magnify when I switch tabs. How do I fix this?

NoSquint was working fine. Then, after an unexpected power outage, it stopped working fine after I powered my computer back up. Basically, the problem is this: I open a new tab, and the page loads to its desired magnification. I open another tab, and that page loads to its desired magnification. Then I switch back to the first tab, and the page is no longer at the desired magnification. Then I switch back to the second tab, and that page is no longer at the desired magnification. So I'm constantly re-setting the magnification, each time I switch tabs.

Before the outage I had noticed that this was a problem with Facebook pages (for whatever reason), but it never happened with other pages. Now it happens for all the pages I load.

Also since the power outage, I've noticed that pages are loading funny--text overlapping other text, images off register, etc.

Please help restore my once near-perfect browser to near perfection!

You can try:

You can rename the file content-prefs.sqlite to content-prefs.sqlite.old (or delete the file) in the Profile Folder to reset the page zoom on all sites.
