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

to set it according to taste

2 drawbacks (2 comments)

Two drawbacks with this approach:

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%.
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.
