When i use the ctrl+ or - shortcut to enlarge or reduce text size all open pages enlarge or reduce their text size. If i have 3 open pages and enlarge the text on one of them then the text is enlarged on all 3 open pages simultaneously.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a webpage
2. right click on a link and "Open Link In New Window"
3. Press control+ and text is enlarged in both windows
Actual Results:  
Text is enlarged in all open windows.

Expected Results:  
The text should only enlarge in the window that is on top.

Theme used is NASA Night Launch 0.6.20080624, sorry i have not tested it using the default theme.

That's the new expected behavior: Zoom instantly applies to all pages from the same domain. Duping to the bug for making this optional for background tabs (toggle browser.zoom.siteSpecific in about:config for completely disabling this feature).
