Hmm, if this regressed in RC1, it really do sound like a bug should be filed at it on Bugzilla. :-/

Quote - If that option doesn't exist in about:config, just create it (right-click -> New -> Integer). http://kb.mozillazine.org/Layout.css.dpi ok got good and bad news you can add this option to the about:config in beta5 and change from -1 or 1 or 0 and it effect's exactly what we are talking about make everything go big small big small we have found it and it works... so i install RC1 back and added "Layout.css.dpi" in the about:config and set -1 then 1 then 0, just like in beta5, and it did nothing they definitely broke this... back to beta 5 grrr at least i know how to change this manually now, they just broke the option in RC1 which explains why the default mode isn't working automatically it's because the manual mode is broke |

You set the DPI in the value, your monitor isn't 1DPI it ignores that value.
Set it to 96, 192, etc. (-1 is a special value, makes it take it form the OS) Although it does look like it's a bug, so if people can verify it (and when it regressed) it should get fixed. Edit: ok, didn't know it also took 0 as a special number) |

Isn't it because the site uses pixels to define text, instead of points? Many websites have this problem, also newscientist.com.

There's nothing wrong with pixel units, CSS pixels are a "virtual" unit, they always equal 1/96th of an inch, regardless of the output device DPI/PPI. 10px on screen and on print (96dpi vs. 1200dpi) should be the same physical size.
Now, even though I said there's nothing wrong with them (contradiction time) there is, they interfere with the minimum font size (apparently) and in IE (yay!) they don't scale at all with the text size setting (which it should, consider it a old bug they haven't fixed) |
