With Firefox 2 I don't had a problem.
With Firefox 3 on my laptop I also don't have a problem (1280x768)

On my pc with Samsung monitor (with native resolution 1360x768) I have a strange fontsize.

I use Ubuntu 8.04 on a pc with samsung LE27T51B monitor.

I found a work around:
Start FF3
Type in the adresfield: 'about:config' and press <ENTER>.
Then scroll to: 'layout.css.dpi'
Change the value to: '96' or '72'. -->> now the problem does not appear anymore.
====================
It has something to do with the resolution in combination with FF3.
When I install FF2 on Ubuntu 8.04 (=same pc) the problem does not exist.
When I connect a different monitor (1024x760) to this pc: there is also no problem. When I reconnect the Samsung: the problem re-occurs.
