Heh.  Maybe I'm just weird (my wife says I am) but I just wasted
many hours of my time trying to find out why I couldn't read a
web page.  I don't know enough about html to know whether this
unfortunate rendering behavior is a 'feature' or a bug.

Perhaps you could visit the URL and experiment with different
settings for 'minimum font size' and tell me if you think firefox
'does the right thing'.  My opinion is:  rendering a page that
can't be read is not a reasonable default -- at least there should
be a warning popup that explains the reason for the illegibility.
