You probably have your Firefox font size preference set differently to your
Internet Explorer font size preference. (FF doesn't provice rather more
fine grained control over font size).

You should avoid that, its been deprecated (in favour of CSS) for a very
long time. Its also tiny (to the point of being unreadable for many
people). Many people consider that, generally at least, body[1] text should
be left at whatever preference the user has set with some unimportant
content reduced to perhaps 75% of that.
[1] In the traditional sense, not the <body> element sense
