In IE you can either use [Ctrl]+scroll to size the text up or down, or use the
menu [view > fontsize]. In FF you can use the [Ctrl]+scroll too to resize the
text, or use the menu [view > text-size].

No, that is not a joke. You needn't set a font size at all, or leave it at 100%.
Your visitor, using one browser at the time and not noticing anything different
between various browsers anyway, knows what font size is good for reading
comfortable from his/her screen at his/her given browsing situation. If you
prefer the fonts to be equal in those two browsers (there are many more) use
your browser setting to achieve that. You can't achieve it through markup
(alone).
