    there's the iphone meme, but for firefox:

    there's an ext for that.

    nosquint

    it allows setting of global zoom defaults.

    well, needed for the op question, too. changing the default zoom is interesting.

    i'd like an auto-zoom function that zooms to fit the with 100% all the time. with direct2d maybe? as zooming should be fast enough even if you grap the window borders and move around :)

    I don't think you can keep your Zoom settings permanently in FireFox, but at least you CAN keep your font sizes larger: go to Tools, Options, Content, and on that screen set the new default text size that you wish.
    Then, click Advanced and you can choose additional default text size settings. Plus, in the box that says "Minimum text size" select None, and down below, UNcheck the box that says "allow pages to choose their own fonts instead of my selections above."
