Hi Michael, Your problem is typographic. The font used for text area is smaller than the font used for inputs (default fonts are sans-serif for input & select, and fixed for text area - on Linux those fonts are configured system wide, they can be anything you choose). It is strongly dependent on the default fonts used by FF (and the fonts installed on the machine). In order to fix your problem, just add font-family: Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif (for example) in the input, select, textarea definition. Even if your Linux does not have the Tahoma or Arial fonts installed, you will still make the sans-serif default font go in all types of inputs.
And no, the font-size properly affects ALL (input, select and text area) in FF on Linux.
