It is not a bug, it's a feature *g*. Very small font sizes are generally
unreadable and therefore do not make any sense. To help those that are
visually impaired Mozilla can enforce a certain minimum font size (AFAIK
it's set to "on", and 6px in the default settings). This can be toggled
on/off of course, but the casual users will not even know that this
feature exists.

You attempted to abuse font-size to achieve something for which it was
never intended. You really should use more suitable CSS attributes, it
will help to make the web a better place.

This gets too off-topic, so I consider this thread closed for my part.
