Hi Nickolay,

Using absolute sizes like px/mm/in was suggested to me. In this case, that will 
solve the problem, but on webpages (non-extensions), I'm told I *must* use 
relative sizes so that browser resizes and View->Text Size changes in the 
browser scale correctly. I don't know if it's accurate that the page won't 
scale correctly unless relative sizes are used, but it sounds reasonable.

Thanks,
Eric

Use a size in pixels, like input {font-size: 16px}? The issue is that
the "em" unit is relative to the font size of the parent element, and
the h3 has an increased size.

(See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#font-size )

There are other workarounds possible, once you know the cause of the problem.
