I'm guessing this is mostly Linux (due to the gazillion different desktop environments and OS themes), though I also see the 28th-most-used theme on AMO is for making Firefox look like IE8. > What capabilities would you like themes to have? > [...] Also at 3% of responses were requests from users who require larger > icons and improved readability of the browser's user interface for improved > accessibility.

"Make things bigger" is somewhat curious... On Windows this is typically done by adjusting the display scaling factor in the OS settings. I wonder if people don't know about that, or are looking to make Firefox -- specifically -- larger than normal. I'm unclear on what Linux offers these days, and while I think OS X supports this internally it's not exposed in any UI. (Apple's preferred route seems to be screen zooming. Which is neat, I use it all the time and have normal vision.) So I'd be curious to understand this use-case better. Separately from themes, I think it would be a good idea to consider adding preferences UI for the default zoom-level of page content in Firefox. I think it's technically easy to do the same thing with chrome, but that would seem pretty strange to expose.
