728729 - MacOSX Resizing websites with cmd+ or cmd- with or without ssl will be remembered for each status

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[webmaster]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:10.0.2) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/10.0.2
Build ID: 20120215223356

Steps to reproduce:

I am developing shops with xtc-modified, which is a fork of xt-commerce. Since the latest FF-Update (today) i recognize the following problem: If I reduce the display of my site with cmd- or increase it with cmd+, this will be remembered by FF, which normally is ok. 


Actual results:

The cmd is only remembered for the actual state of the website with or without ssl. So if I change between ssl or non-ssl parts of my website, the increase or decrease skips with every change. FF remembers the cmd within the same website separated in ssl and non-ssl parts of the site. So the website always "jumps" between a bigger or smaller display with or without ssl, quite annoying. 


Expected results:

FF should display the website always in the correct size I wish, by using cmd+ or cmd-. There is no reason, why the same website should be displayed bigger or smaller in addiction to the ssl-status.

For using firebug as my favourite tool while developing new templates, this is strange and disturbing.

If I'm reading the code correctly, the site-specific zoom level is keyed off the URI's host, not scheme: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/contentprefs/nsContentPrefService.js#1420

We need steps that can be used to reproduce the problem.

The changes you did have decreased the problem. Now the behaviour is as follows:

1. After entering the starting page of the xtc-Modified Shop (which is a fork of xt-commerce) I resize the display by typing cmd+ two times 

2. I log in into my account of this shop. The next page (showing the positive login) is displayed in normal size. 

3. But the next click on whatever external or internal link restores the resize again. 

So now, only the first page after changing from the non-ssl part of the website into the ssl secured part of the website is shown in normal size. But FF must have remembered the setting, so it is restored with the next link you follow. 

Also interesting is, that the opposite way now doesn't show this behaviour anymore. While changing from ssl to non-ssl by logout, the resize keeps alive. 

What remains of this problem now is the first step from non-ssl to ssl, that is the moment when the adress changes from http to https.

Thank You so far for working on this problem. According to the progress I think You are on the right way for solving it completely.

Thanks for the followup!

I'm not sure what changes you're referring to (did you mean in version 11?), but anyway:

As I said earlier, the site-specific zoom level is remembered at the host level. So http://example.org/page1 and http://example.org/page2, as well as https://example.org/ should use the same zoom level, while http://mozilla.org/ as well as http://subdomain.example.org/ have their own zoom levels.

If you see a different behavior we need steps that the developer can use to reproduce the problem (i.e. a public website) in order to figure out what's happening and fix it.
