when enlarging "view" why everything is fuzzy?
why when I enlarge the view (zoom in) everything, from text to images, becomes all soft focused. Like super aliased. In chrome everything stays crisp and I cant imagine that FF couldnt do zoom or enlarge as well as google. So must be a setting that I am not aware of?
I need larger and crisp so I can see. not larger and softer as that defeats the purpose of the zooming in and makes it just as hard to see.

You can try this to see if it helps.
Type about:config in the address bar. Click on I'll be careful, I promise button to skip the warning. Search for layout.css.devPixelsPerPx in the search bar. Double-click it and change the value to 1.0 which is the default value.
Note that layout.css.devPixelsPerPx is a global zoom setting and affects the entire browser (user interface and web pages), so be cautious and double check what value you enter.

Do you notice any pattern with some text scaling better or worse, for example, does it matter whether it's a built-in Mac font or a downloadable font?
To see what font is being used for a particular passage, you can right-click (Ctrl+click) the text and, from the context menu, choose Inspect Element (Q). This will open a panel in the lower part of the tab show the HTML code of the page. On the right side are various sections, if you click Fonts on that side, Firefox should show the fact that's actually being used for the better or worse text.
