The Firefox & Chrome (Webkit) equivalents to the IE-specific zoom property are, respectively, -moz-transform and -webkit-transform.

A sample code would be:

.zoomed-element {
    zoom: 1.5;
    -moz-transform: scale(1.5);
    -webkit-transform: scale(1.5);
}

You'd have to be a bit more careful with Javascript (test for existence first), but here's how you'd manipulate them:

el.style.zoom = 1.5;
el.style.MozTransform = 'scale(1.5)';
el.style.WebkitTransform = 'scale(1.5)';
