I was worried about screen readers zooming not users setting the browser font. So use ems as the body font size and % elsewhere. I just tried switching the base font in Firefox and it did what you said and didn't let me. So I'd agree now that px as a base font may not be ideal. I tried em as the body font-size and % else where and it still worked like I wanted and let me set the optimal font in Firefox. So I will be switching to ems as the body font-size.
