I want to reset the footnote counter on each page. This is very simple. Many packages exist. I prefer for my part to use tex :
\makeatletter
\@addtoreset{footnote}{page}
\makeatother
Unfortunately, all the ways to reset the footnote counter to zero at each page, does not work completely in my case.
I use, with geometry package, a paperback format. I use a lot of text in my footnote. The cause of this problem is probably due to the presence of large footnotes.
I enclose a minimal example: if you compile this example :
\documentclass[hidelinks,9pt]{book}
\usepackage[TS1,T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{ebgaramond}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{
right=1.2cm,
left=1.8cm,
top=1.8cm,
bottom=1cm,
paperwidth=110mm,
paperheight=178mm
}
\makeatletter
\@addtoreset{footnote}{page}
\makeatother

The process is quite simple. Choose the number of random paragraphs you'd like to see and click the button. Your chosen number of paragraphs will instantly appear.
While it may not be obvious to everyone, there are a number of reasons creating random paragraphs can be useful. A few examples of how some people use this generator are listed in the following paragraphs.
Creative Writing\footnote{Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Generating random paragraphs can be an excellent way for writers to get their creative flow going at the beginning of the day. The writer has no idea what topic the random paragraph will be about when it appears. This forces the writer to\footnote{Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

The writer can use the paragraph as the first one of a short story and build upon it. A second option is to use the random paragraph somewhere in a short story they create. The third option is to have the random paragraph be the ending paragraph in a short story. No matter which of these challenges is undertaken, the writer is forced to use creativity to incorporate the paragraph into their writing.
Tackle Writers' Block
A random paragraph can also be an\footnote{Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum} excellent way for a writer to tackle writers' block. Writing block can often happen due to being stuck with a current project that the writer is trying to complete. By inserting a completely random paragraph from which to begin, it can take down some of the issues that may have been causing the writers' block in the first place.
Beginning Writing Routine
Another productive way to use this tool to begin a daily writing routine. One way is to generate a random paragraph with the intention to try to rewrite it while still keeping the original meaning. The purpose here is to just get the writing started\footnote{Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

you will see that, on page 2, the first footnote, which should be numbered 1, is numbered 5. Similarly on page 3, with the first footnote being wrongly numbered 2.
I also attach pictures, so that you can see 
I can't get around this problem.
any ideas? thanks a lot!
