There is no way through Clear Private Data to clear stored site-specific font-size. This is a minor privacy issue as it allows to discover some visited sites.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to any site
2. Set the font huge
3. Close the site
4. Tools > Clear Private Data with all options set
5. Restart firefox
6. Go back to the same site
Actual Results:  
Huge font for the site

Expected Results:  
Standard font size of the site

This is a minor privacy issue as it allows to get some partial information about the sites visited after a Clear Private Data.

Proposal: hook the site-specific font size to 'Offline website data' in Clear Private Data.
