In Portrait mode the zoom facture / percentage performed may not be as significant or frustrating. However in landscape mode zooming the text box to fill the width of the screen is ridiculous. It makes the box huge & sometimes impossible to see / read what is needed in subsequent form text boxes.

In Landscape mode this sets in motion a necessity to zoom out following the competion of typing in every single text box. (Just try to fill out a form & see if you don't feel like cursing. In Landscape mode especially, I zoom to see what I want to see. I don't want firefox to undo my zooming action!

Is it possible to dissable this auto zooming in the settings? Or is it possible to suggest this change be added to future updates?

  2. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
  3. Look for find.helperautozoom I think it is called
