Hi,

On Android Firefox, say I an on a web page and either zoom in using double tap or pinch and then click a link on the page. Firefox displays the page. All good.

If I then use the back button to return to the previous page, Firefox will not display the page as it was previosly zoomed in. It requires me to either zoom in again by double tap or pinch.

Is the a setting or add-on that will preserve the zoomed in state after returning to a previous page using the back button?

Thanks in advance.

Hi FlameRed. I think there is no way to do it. I looked for add-ons but I couldn't find anything that can be helpful to you.

Dito- in the past "the browser resets the zoom and scroll positions when navigating to a new page, and this can happen while the old page is still visible. The old page does not actually reload; it just scrolls to the top before the new page loads."

The only current bugs I find are: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=zoom%20reflo... So, I can recommend filing a bug on this in Firefox for Android Zoom https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox%20for%...
