How do you feel about sites with no text formatting? ;-) I've experienced similar results. Usually Mozilla seems to handle things ok but the ones that annoy me are the ones that steadfastly refuse to update to Java 2 so nothing but the borken internet exploder or Netscape 4.x will work on their sites. Harris Bank has one of these. A good site, if you can fire up and old Netscape or I.E. - otherwise, no account history or buttons. :-(
As for Netscape's zoom - most often you seem to have to hit it 3 times in my opinion only because the text really _is_ that small.
