This is supporting something that already exists for native phone apps. My phone has separate options for display size and text size.
And so I have it set to have smaller buttons but still a normal-size font.

Well, it does what it says, if that's what you mean by "works". But I don't think my grandpa is going to be happy with the results.
Here's NYT with that firefox "zoom text only" enabled: https://i.imgur.com/zp7pDW3.png
See the chopped "rld" on the left? That's the link to the "World" section. To the left of that off the screen should be the "U.S." section. But there's no horizontal scroll bar or any way to get to it, or any way to even know it exists. Categories spill off the right too, and you can't get to those either. This anti-feature, in the name of accessibility has actually just made things worse.
For reference, here's the totally sensible result if you just don't enable "zoom text only": https://i.imgur.com/Kkd5aOu.png
In addition, desktop Firefox has had support for "zoom text only" for about 20 years or so (can be enabled in settings). It works fine.
Don't know about mobile, probably works there too.
