Computer resolution set to 1900x1280 (HDMI out to HDTV) When browsing, must use the magnifier to be able to read screens. Either by ctrl,+ or by ctrl/mousewheel.

As soon as I navigate away from a page, I have to re-magnify everything again.

Prior to updating to this version of Firefox, magnification was 'remembered' for sites that I had previously visited. Now, as soon as I leave the site, I have to re-magnify...

This is getting EXTREMELY annoying. Is there anyway I can 'force' magnification?

Details: Windows 7 Firefox browser version 3.6.13
