Zoom resets to default when opening a new tab

I am using Firefox 23 on Ubuntu. It recently updated. The new behavior is not desired. Here is what happens. I open a page
http://www.foobar.com
I set my preferred zoom level with ctrl++ or View>>Zoom>>Zoom In
I open a link from that page in a new tab
http://www.foobar.com/story/12345/something-new-happening-today
the tab opens with zoom at the default level, and I have to set it again manually. PITA.
Earlier versions of Firefox kept the same zoom level when I opened links in new tabs as described above.
Firefox 23 retains my zoom level when I open a link in a new WINDOW, but NOT in a new tab.
How do I get Firefox 23 to retain the zoom level I set when I open a link in a new tab?

browser.zoom.siteSpecific preference is set to true

  • When opening a new tab it goes to bing search i dont want that

    When opening a new tab in the window it says "search bing" I don't really like bing and I just want the page to open blank like before. Is there anyway that I can Change this?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and do a search for <i>bing</i> via the Filter at the top of the about:config page.<br />
    You can reset all <i>bing</i> related prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default values.

  • When opening a new tab, bottom row becomes "hidden" behind main window and only becomes revisible when tab on hidden row is closed.

    I have the browser set to show five rows of tabs, however, even on the third row (I have not closed enough tabs to test if this happens on the second row), when opening a new tab, the top of the webpage gets moved up to cover the bottom row of tabs, save for a sliver at the top. The only way to re-expose the tabs seems to be to close any tab in the bottom row -- closing tabs in other rows does nothing with the problem.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.

  • When opening a new tab, there is a Yahoo search screen showing rather than an empty tab and I would like to shut it off, how do I do this? thanks

    somewhere on updating, I picked up a yahoo toolbar, which I did not like. One of the tasks it performed was to bring up a yahoo search and news box when opening a new tab every time. I have not been able to uninstall it or shut it off, Any ideas where to start. When opening the new tab, it starts at "click,w3i.com" and then goes to "search.yahoo.com" and has some trending searches and latest news, My network is slow enough with out waiting for all these things to pass. Any idea how to eliminate it or shut it off. It is not listed in tool bars or options or add-ons or plugins or anything. below are the two links the tab goes through, they are listed in reverse order. Thanks for the help. Have a great day.

    Yes it was an add on called net assistant by freeze.com and I have found that, disabled it and intend to uninstall it, it must of come in with something else, I did not down load it specifically. Thanks

    when opening a new tab i wish to see the contents of my currently open webpage again on the new page

    * Hold Command and left-click or middle-click the Reload button on the location/address bar to open the current page in a new tab.
    * Hold Command and left-click or middle-click items in the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons to open a page from that list in a new tab<br>You can hold down the left mouse button on the Back or Forward button to open the tab history.
    * Duplicate a tab with its history by pressing the Option key and dragging the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
    * Dragging a tab in the browser window will detach the tab and move it to a new window, this is called tab tearing.
    * Drag a tab back to the tab bar in the original or anther window to undo a detach or move a tab to a specific window. If a window gets empty (you tear off the last tab) then that window will be closed automatically.
