Fonts are smaller on some sites compared to Gutsy

[André]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Using the default GNOME and Firefox font configuration the fonts on some sites visited in Firefox on Hardy Beta 1 are much smaller than when viewed in Firefox on Gutsy. One site which shows this difference is http://www.aftonbladet.se as the attached screenshot comparison shows. I believe that the font size in Gutsy is much more readable. A workaround is to set a smallest allowed size in Firefox in Hardy, but that is not always desirable.

Thank you for filing this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Are you sure that both the fonts are same? If so, is there a difference in the font sizes selected by default?
