This isn't quite a duplicate bug; firefox (at least when run under
gnome) uses gnome's font settings and sizes, but it gets the DPI values
from X.  Why doesn't it get all the settings from gnome?

In order to work around this problem, you need to have firefox's DPI
setting match gnome's.  There are two ways to fix this.

1) go to about:config in firefox, and change "layout.css.dpi" to match
the value in gnome's font settings (under system -> preferences ->
appearance -> fonts -> details).

2) make sure layout.css.dpi is set to -1, then change gnome's font DPI
setting to match the value reported by X:

$ grep DPI /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(==) intel(0): DPI set to (100, 100)

$ xrdb -query | grep dpi
Xft.dpi:        100.000000
