If I have multiple tabs open, and zoom one; other tabs may get zoomed when I change to them. 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have 5 tabs open

2. Zoom #3.

3. Move to #5
Actual Results:  
#5 tab may display as before, then quickly zoom as well.



Expected Results:  
In the past, only #3 would be zoomed, both on the original URL and subsequent ones. Closing #3 and creating a new tab would get you normal sizes.



There are times when {say #5} didn't zoom, but if I fork new tabs off of it, or create empty ones with splat-T, they too are initially zoomed.

Comment 1

[Jesse Ruderman]

Zoom is now per-site rather than per-tab.  So if you have the same site open in another tab, it will get zoomed too.  Is that what you're seeing?  If so, this is probably a duplicate of bug 425286 or bug 419612, and you can change the behavior using http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.zoom.siteSpecific.

That sounds possible and I shall test that conjecture.

Comment 3

[Manish Jethani]

I'm quite certain this is a duplicate of bug 419612.

It does appear that Comment #1 solves my issue and #3 is true as well.
