Because firefox doesn't come with a zoom feature (that I know of).

You just don't know where to look I suppose. Try this addons search:

Well, I haven't had much of a need to look for that since linux / X already
has a built in zoom (Cntrl + Alt + [+/-]). Sure I could address it on a
per application basis. But it's just a lot more convenient to switch
resolution modes on the fly.

And that plugin doesn't work for sylpheed, gimp(has it own zoom, not a
plugin), mplayer (yeah, I know of -vf scale -zoom -x ### -y ###). For the
pogo games in question, it's not the text I need bigger. And it's not
quite good enough to go 2x's for 800px on a 1280px wide LCD. So having
various resolutions to bump through helps. If your video driver supports
it.

And there's also the matter of aspect ratio(8:5 for 1280x800 aka 1.6)
as opposed to (4:3 for 1024x768 aka 1.33) which can be corrected in some
video modes. Without having to jump through additional hoops.
