I am running Firefox 143.0.2 (will update to 143.0.3 after I post this) with the add-on Fixed Zoom, which is selected to render PPRuNe at 125% magnification. Window's 11's Accessibility protocol is set to 100% magnification. So far, so good? Now, the problem.
Say I am viewing a page at the customary 125% enlargement. If I select and visit a hyperlinked site, all is well, but when I return to the pages of PPRuNe, the magnification drops, uncommanded, to 110%! This occurs more than 20 times per day and is most annoying! I have tried every settings change possible, I have deactivated Fixed Zoom, I have implemented the Microsoft Zoom Command. No Joy! I have profaned myself on a direct path to Hell on full afterburner/reheat. I am giving very strong consideration to heavy percussive maintenance or the Frisbee-i-zation of our nice laptop.
Is anyone able to suggest a solution? Suicide is not in the mix. Yet,

Windows key + Alt +8 gives you 200% under Linux. Not just Firefox, all applications. Wait a bit, it takes a few seconds to become active. Enter the same key sequence again to return to normal magnification. Alternatively go into Settings > Accessibility > Zoom and set the zoom to whatever you want.
My solution? I bought a bigger screen second hand on ebay. I only use the workarounds on the laptop, which is tiny, and only has a 10.5" screen.
