I don't see a way to make zoom-120% the default. Zoom is a defense mechanism, to counteract sites that aren't allowing your default size to be the dominant size on their pages. It isn't designed to alter the defaults, which is exactly what font sizes in the preferences panel are for. If you want 120% everywhere, choose the size(s) that are 120% of what you have there now. -- The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive.

I've been controlling mine via userChrome.css for probably at least 7
years.
This goes in the chrome folder in your profile (not the chrome folder in
the SeaMonkey root). If you don't already have a file named
userChrome.css, copy the userChrome-example.css and rename it to be
userChrome.css.
Edit userChrome.css to contain the following:
/* Font size on tabs */
.tabbrowser-tab { font-size: 110% !important }
The first line is merely a comment to document the second line. You can
vary the 110% to suit your needs, but 110% is perfect for me. Be sure
to heed the warning about not removing the @namespace line.
Thanks! Works fine. My .css file is growing.
I wonder if these .css tweaks of the SeaMonkey GUI are all available in a
list somewhere? Or is it just hand-me-down, one-at-a-time info? I know
nothing about .css but can play monkey-see, monkey-do... :)
I asked the same question yesterday in a different thread and a bit
differently. I asked if there is a user-oriented document on tweaking
userChrome.css and userChrome.css. The answer is No.
