Been using it for a few weeks now and I like it. You can instal plug ins. I have used the spell checker and the text to voice. Both work well.
There is lots of ways of enlarging the text as well.
You can also install a plug-in to enlarge pictures with a right click as well.
Its free and available from here

As they say "other browsers are available".
Internet explorer will resize the text on many well-written web sites (hold Control down and waggle the mouse wheel).
Opera is even better, as it enlarges the whole display, is quicker than IE, and isn't written by Microsoft!
It's horses for courses though, thanks to the Americans with Disability Act, things are becoming much more accessable all round.

I have been using it since version 0.7 and was using the Mozilla Suite for a long time before that, mainly due to security issues with IE and the level of inconvenience necessary to run it securely when viewing web pages (lots of do you want to allow type prompts per page).
Anyway I believe you are talking about the
TextZoom and
ImageZoom extensions (plugins for FireFox).
I would recommend this browser as since dumping IE I have never looked back.
