Bug#644574: iceweasel 6.0.2 and 7.0.1 do not retain user zoom factor ( and font size )

Package: iceweasel
Version: 7.0.1

Dear Maintainer,

All the browsers have this zooming in/out capabilities which enlarges/shrink the fonts using control-mouse-scroll - which is almost universal already ( haven't found any browsers which do not do that !!! ).

And all the browsers retain their zooming factors ( and font sizes ) for subsequent use - iceweasel 3.5.X inclusive !

With the newer versions ( tested 6.0.2 and 7.0.1 ), iceweasel is becoming the only browser which does not retain the zooming factors anymore. After zooming in/out on a particular page, the next click brings the display back to the original zooming factor ( and font size ). End up the user will have to re-establish the zooming factor for every page which he visits.

It works properly for me. Please make sure you don't have an extension
getting in the way.
