214991 - would like to see default zoom levels set on new tabs / windows

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 96096

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

[Satyaki Sharma]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

I am using SuSE 8.2 / Mozilla 1.4Beta on a 1024x768 screen. The fonts appear too
small in Mozilla while they appear fine in Konqueror. I have to zoom twice each
time I use Mozilla to get the fonts to a read-able size. Plus, if I open a tab
from the link in the current page, it doesn't inherit the zoom level, thereby
necessitating another visit to Ctrl++. (note: I don't want to use 800x600)

Setting default zoom level can be an option in the Preferences>Navigator Parent
dialog box where one chooses default behavior for new windows / tabs. 

I did search the database - so if I have failed to find an earlier bug and have
filed a repeat - kindly forgive me for wasting your time. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to website http://www.iimcal.ac.in/students
2. Ctrl++ to zoom into text
3. Middle-Click on any link given on page

Actual Results:  
The new tab doesn't inherit the zoom level

Expected Results:  
The new tab should've inherited the zoom level of parent page.

Having any sort of default zoom is a previously determined WONTFIX.
