Steps to reproduce:

Set the Fixed Zoom add-on to 130%.
Open a tab with something in it. (From bookmark menu, from new tab itself, or from entering URL.)

Actual results:

Zoom is 100%.

Expected results:

Zoom should be 130%.

I think this is a Firefox problem, not a Zoom Page problem, because Zoom Page has not been updated for quite a while and this bug is new.

Note also that giving Zoom Page permission to apply to private windows did not have any effect.

After opening something in a tab, I can get Fixed Zoom to apply to it by changing the amount of zoom to 125% and then back to 130%.

(Zoom Page is necessary because changing the pixel size in about:config also affects the side bar, making the font too big.)

Hey there Jonathan,

I tried reproducing this issue in the latest Nightly 78.0a1 (2020-05-04) , beta 76.0 and release 75.0 but could not reproduce it. I followed your steps, installed the addon and set it to 130% and opened other tabs and the zoom level was that of 130%.

Can you please check with a fresh new profile where only the Fixed Zoom addon is installed? You can find more about creating a new profile here : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems#w_6-create-a-new-firefox-profile .

If possible, you can test this issue on the nightly build as well. Download the build from : https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/nightly/all/ .

I'm sorry, but I should have marked this as FIXED, which I have now tried to do. It depended on another bug, which was fixed a few days ago. I assumed that someone else would take care of this one.
