set zoom scale for certain sites

[Justinh]

There are certain sites I use only in private windows. Site settings like zoom value are lost when closing the window. Is there a way I can set the zoom % for certain sites w/o ever using a regular window and the value persist?

I figured out a way to do this with Edge (certain text file that stores these things).

Hmm.

Well, you could hack that "certain file" (not that I know which offhand) that FF uses.
Imagine that would work.

Find that file, open those sites on a different computer, copy that file back onto yours.
Problem is, whatever file it might happen to be, may very well contain more then "just" zoom settings.


And I take it you're adverse to opening that regular window, once, setting zoom, then clearing out its history?
(And not that I'm really sure just how to go about that either?)

I don't know what Fx file contains this info.

I might have to resort to this, but wanted to know the alternatives first.

What works for me is, set the site zoom in a non-private window, and then when you open it in a private window it will use the zoom setting you previously set in a non-private window.

Unless of course you don't want the site in your normal history.
