serif pref set to Bitstream Vera Serif
sans pref set to Trebuchet
monospace pref set to Bitstream Vera Sans Mono
pref size of both set to 20px

It is a bit wierd to see h1, h2, and h3 all in one row set to the same size and only 100% size of the default, but I don't think it's actually "too small", but just unexpected to be no larger than it is. The form fonts OTOH seem rather randomly sized. In my general use SeaMonkey profile all 3 were actually much much larger, caused by my user stylesheet. I changed that to make the h1 & h2 on bugilla size "medium", and the h3 size "small" (with a 12.5em width limit).

Tweaking most sizes back to medium, and the h1 & h2 a bit larger (e.g. large), would probably be a good idea if you're going to leave them set to serif.

Something that would help on many systems if you're going to leave h1, h2 & h3 at medium would be to change the family from simply "serif" to "'bitstream vera serif', georgia, serif" so that many people will see some serif font larger than the generally diminuitive Times variants typically defaulted to.

I don't plan to work on these at this point because the broader focus is now on trying to upgrade to Bugzilla 2.22, and it'll all have to be redone anyway to fit the 2.22 templates.  But if someone else wants to show me what to patch on any of these I'll be happy to patch the current install between now and then.

In https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/skins/standard/global.css ,

I think increasing the size in the following should work:

    /* hide from NN4 */
    div#header h2
    {
        float: left;
        width: 70%;

        text-align: center;
        padding: 0.2em 1em 0.1em 0.1em;
    }

    #header h2
    {
        font-family: serif;
        font-weight: normal;
        font-size: 100%;
    }

    /* hide from MSIE and NN4 */
    [id]#header h2
    {
        float: none;
        width: auto;

        text-align: left;
        vertical-align: top;
    }

although maybe there's another, more appropriate place.
