Remove Zoom Level from URL Bar

[Steeltent]

In most cases, having the current zoom level visible in the URL bar is useless information - and displaying useless information is probably bad. 

I can see an argument for showing extreme zoom levels, very low or very high, so users are aware why a page might look weird. But indicating if a site is scaled to 90%, 100% or 110% is useless information, in my opinion.

So, my suggestion is: please remove the zoom indicator from the URL bar - or if you think you need to design for worst case user at least give others the option to remove this UI element themselves. Right now there isn't even a config flag for this. 😞

You can try, with the help of userChrome.css, you can find tutorials on the web

#urlbar-zoom-button{display:none!important;}

Couple of things worth noting:

1. Zoom level is ONLY displayed when it has been set to something OTHER THAN your default (Settings -> Accessibility -> Default zoom)
2. Zoom level is "sticky" PER website, so if you change it (to something other than your default) for a website, Firefox remembers each time you subsequently visit that website

So if you're seeing it to the point of annoyance, a) you've changed it to that value, and b) you might want to consider changing your preference in Settings so that it won't be displayed and so you won't have to change it to that value on each new website you visit

Personally, I find the behavior well thought out and quite useful.
