What if you go into firefox options, go to the Content selector and click
on it. When it opens, about halfway down, you should see a select box for
default font and one for size. That seems to allow you to set and hold
font sizes. I just tried it on Firefox 2.0.0.11 and it works.

Have you tried that?

Yes, and I also tried it with the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts,
instead of my selections above" box both checked and unchecked. The
settings change the appearance of the text (font and size), but don't widen
the whole page to fill the display.

I just noticed something. I use "Yahoo" as my home page. It may have
something to do with their settings. I may be on to something ....
