How can I get just the text to resize, rather than the entire web page?
I used to be able to re-size just text on a webpage by typing Ctrl + +. Today, the entire webpage re-sizes, and when I move to another page it reverts. (I see this mostly in Facebook.). Why did this change, and can I go back to having just the text re-size?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

- You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
- To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
- Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"
You can use one of these extensions to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

It works for one page, but when I try to go to another page on the same website it goes back to the original size. It used to retain the change through-out the website.

Thanks! I searched around and figured that out. I didn't select the Privacy option "Never Remember History." It seems it reset to that, but I don't know why. I chose custom settings and now my resizing issue is resolved. Thanks again.
