When you decrease the font size (Ctrl+mousewheel being the easiest one) on the
above page, the phrases 'Mozilla' and 'Firefox 1.0 - Rediscover the web' will
appear and get larger whilst the rest of the page shrinks in size. I guess that
it has something to do with the text height being set to 2px in the css, but
that is just a sheer guess.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to www.mozilla.org/products/firefox
2.Hold down control key and spin the mouse wheel down (a number of times)
3.Look at the top left part of the page

Actual Results:  
Text that was previously to small to see increases in size

Expected Results:  
The text that was too small to see should stay that way and not increase in size
That page includes these two images:
http://www.mozilla.org/images/product-firefox-screen.png
http://www.mozilla.org/images/header_logo.gif

Are they what you are referring to as "appear and get larger"? They won't get
larger, or smaller.
No, they are just the background of two <h1> tags. The text within these <h1>
tags is set by style-sheets to be 2px high (unseeable on the computer screen).
When the text size is decreased suffiently, this invisible text gets displayed.

I'll post some screenshots of what I mean after I've finished installing
something onto my computer.

Look at the two added pictures, mainly the second one. This text doesn't appear
on the webpage (try and search for 'Firefox 1.0 - Rediscover the web' at normal
size text and you will see that nothing gets highlighted). The first picture
shows the same page but one text size decrease before.
