On that page, fonts are so small it's impossible to read the information.
Problem with CSS ?

well, it's called SMALL businesses ;)
Also reporter, next time please be VERY specific about your issue. In this case,
say WHICH text you find hard to read, as the page uses several fonts and sizes.

anyway, seems like they use 10px. If it's defined as 10px then it's 10px and
hardly a mozilla tech evang issue. Also, the site looks similar to me in IE.

In fact, firefox has options that IE doesn't have OPTIONS - TOOLS - GENERAL -
FONTS & COLORS - MINIMUM FONT SIZE

The white boxes in the middle of the page are in divs in tds that have classes
h5.hpPromo_head @ 11px and p.hpPromo_body @ 10px. This, and its many nested
tables, is simply awful page design. When I force the size bigger, such as with
the minimum font size setting or a user stylesheet, the links that should be in
the white boxes are below (outside) the white boxes, sometimes behind the select
lists below (invisible), depending on actual zoom level or minimum font size
setting.

per comment 1 and 2 -> Invalid.

Awful web design is not a Mozilla problem.

It was readable with IE but not with FF (and not with Opera). But...

...I forgot that option. From 'none', I set it to '10px' and the page is now
readable.

Sorry, my mistake.
