I'm not seeing anything unusual.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages

If you increased the minimum font size then try the default setting 'none' as a high value can cause issues like you described.
