It may be that I do not understand. However, with IE6.0, IE7.0, and 
FF/2.0.0.11 all open at he same time to your "home" page adjacent to one 
another, I see no difference in the font that is being rendered, nor in 
the size of the font among the 3 browsers. You may have inadvertently 
changed something in the FF "preferences" that is causing a difference 
on your end.

Incidentally, your fonts in IE6 and IE7 go crazy at any setting other 
than font-size: "medium." This is an IE bug. When using em's for sizing 
fonts, percent must be used on the body or html.
The declaration:

html body {...}

should read

html, body {...}

and in that declaration change font-size: 1em; to font-size: 100%;

I did not look at the inside page you are having difficulty with...

HTH.

Best,
