When reading a long web page, i often adjust the font size (hey - why not?
Firefox makes it easy), however this almost always leads to losing your place on
the page, as the scroll bar ends up relative to the top of the page, not
relative to the text you were reading before you resized the font. Here is my
solution: Either always stay relative to the text, or if the original
functionality has to be kept, maybe always stay with highlighted text - that way
you could highlight the word/para you are up to, then CTRL+ and you would stay
with that highlighted section.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to slashdot.net
2. scroll 1/2 way down the page. start reading an article
3. while reading, press CTRL+ a few times to increase the font size. 

Actual Results:  
You end up looking at an article about 3 above the one you wanted

Expected Results:  
Kept the location in the visible part of the screen
