You're virtually guaranteed to make every page useless in FF with 8
times Ctrl++. That's a 1600% zoom level. If you started in an 800px wide
window with 10px text, that much zoom would permit as little as 10
characters per full screen width line to fit. Try it here:

than 10px to start with, you'd be lucky to see more than half the words
whole on one line at that zoom level.
