You can modify appearance of any site and your mozilla client in
userContent.css and userChrome.css in your mozilla profile's chrome
directory. There are example stylesheets there. Restart Mozilla for
changes to take effect.

I have the same thing in Seamonkey.  The problem is that you can adjust
the font size but not the size of the box itself.  Google in this case
controls that.  I don't know of a way to workaround this myself.

I have seen this same thing on different sites so it is not going to be
just google either.

Can anyone here coach me a little about getting a decent look in
firefox.

I've monkeyed around with the font settings endlessly but it seems I
can only get a look where like in a google search..  The hits are
displayed in a decent and reasonable size. But the font size in the
search box where you enter your terms is much bigger It seams nothing I
do in the supplied font adjustment settings has any effect on that
font.

You can see the window grab here:

It doesn't look all that bad but notice how big the font in the search
box is compared to the index of hits.  The font inside search box is
not bold but is a fair bit larger font size than even the headlines in
the index of hits.

How do you control the font inside that search box?  And how do you
get a reliable size in the rest of it.. I tried checked and unchecked
on the item that says [] let the pages show their own fonts.
Doesn't seem to matter either way

I've tried numerous setting on the various font sizes available in the 
Edit/preferences font and advanced dialogs.  But I haven't found a
combination the just works for most stuff.
