Steps to reproduce:

Use a font-size below 10px on my CSS file applied to normal HTML tag


Actual results:

the font  always get returned to 10px size ( using Firebug to test different sizes on the fly  to see what happened)


Expected results:

The font-size should be what I input on my CSS , in this case I try from 1px to 9px, either on my CSS or by using Firebug. always getting same size as 10px has.

I've tried this on a earlier version ( 3.6 & 10.0) worked fine
Care to attach a reduced testcase showing the Issue?

You also can try to find a Regression Range against Central using mozregression (http://mozilla.github.com/mozregression/).

Do you mean give you an url of the bug??
He means give him a URL of a page with text less than 10px that doesn't display correctly in Firefox
http://trace.pt/clientes/onceuponabrand/news.html ( can you guys please make this link private ?)

this a newsletter template which I tested in 2 different PC's with FF11 and same bug.

I've try various websites with Firebug by changing font-size below 10px and I get same result as I previously mentioned here
in this case CSS is inline. but as I said, I've tried other websites with CSS files ( using Firebug ) and same thing happening
Which text isn't showing on that link? It all appears to be there...even the phone numbers which are set to 7px

Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic%20Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
it only show with 7px on a new empty profile, not even in safe mode. So what can be?
Please post the contents of about:support as a text attachment to this bug from the profile where it fails and we can see if anything jumps out
I tried on 2 different computers, therefore 2 different profiles, in one of hem I also tried to start FF11 without add-ons but no changes.

Anyway I will attach the about:support file as you request

I've see this on my "about:support" :

font.minimum-size.x-western:        10


can be this the problem??

I don't think so because I have that value set to 10 as well and see the text. I believe that setting just increases the font size to the minimum value specified there. In a clean profile on nightly this value is set to None...

You can try changing it in Tools -> Options -> Content -> Fonts & Colors -> Advanced

Nothing jumps out to me in about:support...

    
    

    
  
I've just try to set value to NONE, and it works fine, but I've never touch on this parameter that I can recall. 

Although you say that you have this parameter set to 10 and  it is working good for you

So I don know now if this is the fix or not.. because here it really worked changing the value to none.
.
Thanks anyway for everything.

Though this is an old issue, I noticed that if the page's LANG attribute in the HTML tag is set to nothing/blank like so:

<html lang="">

..then the minimal font size setting will be ignored.

If it is NOT set or set with something else (<html lang="en">), then you can't go smaller than the minimal font size.

Of course this seems to be an issue for Firefox ONLY as most other browsers don't set minimal font size (in their current versions as of my writing this, that is).
