When a link is opened in a new tab (either using the context menu `Open Link in New Tab' or middle-clicking on it), the new tab will be displayed using the normal text size. Since new tabs are usually opened for different parts of a same homepage or news portal, it would be more convenient if the new tab inherited the text size of the tab in which the link had been clicked. Now the user has to set the desired zoom level for each tab, albeit the content intended to be viewed this way is likely to use the same design and font size. Maybe an option on the Preferences/Tabs page would be useful to enable this behaviour.

Reproducible: Always
