This tutorial covers how to automatically reset zoom level to 100% when Firefox starts. By default, when you change zoom level for some website(s), Firefox remembers that particular zoom level. And when you open the same website(s) again in Firefox, it automatically shows that particular website with the same zoom level set by you. If you don’t like this setting, then you can set Firefox to keep the default zoom level (which is 100%) for all websites. Once this tweak is applied, when you will close a website and/or Firefox and reopen it, you will notice that zoom level for all websites is reset automatically to default 100% level.

To automatically reset zoom level to 100% when Firefox starts, you need to access the Configuration page of Firefox. After that, you have to change the value of a particular preference. I have added all the steps for you to automatically reset zoom level to 100% in Firefox.

Step 2: Use Search box of the Configuration page, type “browser.zoom.sitespecific“, and press Enter. After that, browser.zoom.siteSpecific preference will open.

Double-click that preference and its value will change to ‘false‘.
