Yeah - I've found this too. I've been meaning to check that it wasn't anything to do with the update of fontconfig too that happened at the same time for me. However, the fonts for the other apps are ok, so I think it's a Firefox issue.
I get the feeling I have to remove my .mozilla - this seems to be the first step for solving any AL problem - remove .foo!

Look in your Firefox configuration options:
Edit/Preferences/Content/Advanced
and check your resolution. You were probably using System Resolution before and it defaults to 96dpi now.

I first ran the 1.5-1 package from testing, then everything was oke for me.. Now i upgraded to 1.5-2 from current, and everything is much bigger. All the fonts, for menu's, toolbar etc...
Changing the resolution thingy doesn't help, any idea?
All you got to do, is tell the story right...
