Opera 9, hitting the keypad "+" key:  barely got to a count of 2
... and I immediately followed with a ctrl+end to get to the end of the
page to make certain that they whole page was available in a larger font --
not just the visible text.  The jump to the end of the page was almost
instantaneous.  The text there ws larger, too.

Opera enlarges pix, too, not just text.  I don't use Firefox so I don't
know what it does with pix.
