Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

In Gutsy, Firefox doesn't seem to pay attention to the DPI setting as set through GNOME when rendering webpages.
While Firefox's menus are rendered at the correct DPI, its fonts are always the same size, regardless of the DPI setting.
This is annoying, as on my system I end up with 10-pt menus and 5-pt text (Launchpad's bug entry page is, in fact, an example of this).
