Public bug reported:

Ubuntu default font causes major size problems in forms with input
type=text and the size attribute.

font-family: 'Ubuntu'; which is the default, an <input type=text size=1>
field can contain 7 characters. If i force input fields to have a font-
family: monospace; font, it works again.

Please pick a better font for Firefox!
