Set a default zoom level for all websites

How do I tell Firefox to default to 80% for every new web page it opens? 100% is too big, and the system doesn't support fractional scaling well, so every time I land on a new domain name, I have to hold down Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel to see web pages comfortably.

Firefox allows to set the default zoom level in its preferences. Go to

Preferences->General->Zoom->Default zoom

to set it according to taste

Two drawbacks with this approach:

  1. It will instantly rescale every webpage, making you lose existing settings, which is unfortunate. I don't want every webpage at 80%, just most of them. Some I keep at 100%, while others at 90%.
  2. It provides far less options than when scrolling with the mouse wheel. For instance, the mouse wheel lets you set 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 110%, etc, while in the settings, you can only choose 30%, 50%, 67%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 110%, 120%, 133%, etc.

Maybe try if you can change the available zoom levels with about:config->toolkit.zoomManager.zoomValues
