How do I stop the Magnifer from shrinking and blowing up my web page during browsing? It is really freagin annoying!
It does it on it's own I shut the magnifier off in windows and the web pages such as email, Aol, facebook just change size on there own. Seriously buggen me bad about to switch from firefox. How can I lock the size to just 100?

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/changes-toolbars-and-window-sizes-are-not-saved You may have corrupt xulstore.json or Localstore.rdf file.
Close Firefox. Open your file browser to this hidden location:
- Mac: *~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles
- Linux: *~/.mozilla/firefox/Profiles
- Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
- *C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
- Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data
\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
Search for the above files. Then rename or delete them. Restart Firefox.
Just in case you are talking about :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/magnifier/
That no longer works properly, as it hasn't been updated in years.
So, if this is what causing your problems : please, remove the add-on.
You could try this instead (which is a Webextension) :

Here is an actual way to solve the problem I was having. Apparently allot of other people have the same problem depending on their mouse configuration https://dottech.org/120016/how-to-disable-or-turn-off-zoom-in-with-mouse-or-touchpad-in-firefox-guide/

Well, good for you !!!
But in your original post you never mentioned a mouse - you mentioned Magnifier .......
Would you please mark your own last post as 'Chosen Solution' ?
That way others, with the same problem, will know and might benefit from it.
