I understand that.  And CSS gives users the ability to override anything you
say in your stylesheet with !important rules in a user stylesheet.  I'm not
quite sure whether you understand that....

Yes, because it's a _font_ zoom.  It simply sets the equivalent of !important
font-size rules in the user stylesheet, like I said.

It seems that your only issue is that Mozilla implements a font zoom, not a
whole-page zoom (a la Opera).  That has nothing to do with CSS, however.

I'm sorry, but that's not true in CSS.  For example, in CSS a pixel resizes if
you change your viewing distance.  I recommend giving the CSS definition of
pixel a read:
