Note that the impact of 32px minimum font size (or 24px, which is not in fact the Firefox limit) and setting the browser's default to 32px (or 24px, which can be larger in Firefox via about:config) cannot be expected to have equivalent impact, particularly if you set container widths in px instead of em or rem. Page zoom will stretch those px widths, while larger than 16px default browser settings will not.
W...e have had this issue on the table a few times, and seem to always end up more or less on opposite sides :-)
Maybe once your new system is installed you can demonstrate to me how horizontal scroll caused by high font-size to viewport width ratio is usually a bad thing, and/or worse than short line lengths, truncation and overflow caused by px-constrained container widths. Until then, I stand firm that px is an inappropriate unit for sizing containers for text content.
