I am using Firefox 23 on Ubuntu. It recently updated. The new behavior is not desired. Here is what happens. I open a page

             http://www.foobar.com

I set my preferred zoom level with ctrl++ or View>>Zoom>>Zoom In I open a link from that page in a new tab

             http://www.foobar.com/story/12345/something-new-happening-today

the tab opens with zoom at the default level, and I have to set it again manually. PITA.

Earlier versions of Firefox kept the same zoom level when I opened links in new tabs as described above.

Firefox 23 retains my zoom level when I open a link in a new WINDOW, but NOT in a new tab.

How do I get Firefox 23 to retain the zoom level I set when I open a link in a new tab?

If it does work in a new window then stay with that window and close the other, not working, window.

Firefox has two different ways to remember zoom: "by tab" or "by site". A long time ago, Firefox switched from "by tab" to "by site", but perhaps yours got switched back? Could you check:

The about:config method should work for about:newtab, but extensions can override it (and a user.js file can revert it at the next startup).

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste site and pause while the list is filtered

(3) If the browser.zoom.siteSpecific preference is user set to false, double-click it to restore the default value of true.

Does that explain it?
