I've recently begun using a HTPC system with firefox as the default browser. The page zoom feature in firefox 3 is EXTREMELY helpful. It would be even more useful if the browser could automatically adjust the zoom level to make the smallest text on a website a user-specified size. I believe this would have important implications for people with seeing disabilities as well.

I am aware that there is already a "minimum text size" feature, but this often distorts the page layout sufficiently to make it unreadable because text columns are not scaled properly or because the designers insisted on having page elements that overflow if the text inside them is bigger than they intended.
