Any way to work around this? As said in the blog comment, user.js doesn't force the setting to true on browser start.
We won't fix this for the default mode of Tor Browser as site specific zoom is a great way to make your browser fingerprint more unique. However, you can disable that if you go to about:preferences#privacy
and toggle the "Change details that distinguish you from other Tor Browser users" checkbox.

Thanks, makes sense.
What other settings does the privacy.resistFingerprinting toggle restrict?
I accept being zoom-fingerprintable by the few sites where I change it but I still wish to prevent the other preferences controlled by resistFingerprinting from being modified.
