To NoSquint, a site is a web location where all pages have the same zoom level and color settings, and the site name is derived from the page's URL.

In most cases, the site is the domain. For example, if the current page is www2.ibm.com/index.php, NoSquint will consider the site name to be ibm.com. NoSquint will also take into account common country-specific second-level domains. For example, if you're visiting www.bbc.co.uk, NoSquint will consider the site name to be bbc.co.uk.

The default behavior should work almost all the time. When it doesn't, you can control how NoSquint determines site names in the Exceptions Tab.


  • Remember per-site settings between Firefox restarts
    With this option selected, NoSquint will remember any changes you make to the zoom levels and color choices for a given site, and the changes are stored on disk so they can be applied even if you restart Pale Moon.
    Both full page zoom and text zoom levels are remembered independently. Next time you visit that site, NoSquint will use the zoom and colors previously used on that site.

  • Forget settings for sites not visited in the last ...
    With the "Remember per-site settings between Firefox restarts" option enabled, NoSquint keeps track of all zoom level and color changes for sites, even sites you only visit once. This option is house cleaning: if you haven't visited a site (for which you've set a non-default zoom or color setting) for the specified number of months, NoSquint will forget the setting.

  • Erase NoSquint site history when Firefox clears private data
    When you change the default zoom levels or colors for a given site, NoSquint remembers that change, which means it must keep a record of those sites. From a privacy perspective, this is similar to your browsing history. If this option is selected, when Pale Moon clears your private data (via Pale Moon >> History >> Clear Recent History...), it will also purge all site-specific data associated with NoSquint.
    Note that user-added exceptions are not cleared.

  • Forget all per-site settings when Firefox closes
    Per-site settings will be retained only for the current Firefox session. They are never written to disk, and will therefore not be remembered if you restart Firefox.
    An alternative would be to use Pale Moon's Private Browsing mode, which NoSquint supports. When Private Browsing is activated, even if "Remember per-site settings between Firefox restarts" is selected instead of this option, NoSquint will never store any per-site settings to disk which have changed while in that mode.
