Maybe this is some trickery on the page, but using the View/Text Size/Increase menu item does increase the text size. If I can do it once for each page, surely I should be able to do it always for all pages. Reproducible: Always

As reported, this bug is invalid; things are behaving as they're currently designed. Font size preferences do need a bit of rework, but it's not something to which individual bug reports are going to make a useful contribution.
Does this mean, that by design, there's no way to have the same preferences by default as can be specified each time for each page?
Yes, because text zoom does things that are nonconformant with standards and that authors who write their pages properly shouldn't have to expect to deal with.
> text zoom does things that are nonconformant with standards Ah, so I guess this is more involved than I thought. Maybe this is a usability bug then. Maybe 1. A can't-work-properly/not-advised feature shouldn't be in the menu. and/or 2. It should be more obviously a maybe-works thing, so people don't expect it to have a default setting in the preferences.

I'm not sure what comment 5 is tring to say, but this is invalid... Note that we _do_ support a minimum font size preference if that's what you're trying to do.
