I found out that fennec don't recognize <small> html tag , so I think that problem was somewhere in css of avto.net page, not sure that are my thoughts only, there are big chance I'm wrong but no one knows :)

This is an intentional feature of Firefox, to enlarge text to make it easier to read on small screens (bug 627842).  You can disable it by changing the "Font size" preference to "Tiny".

You can also file bugs for specific cases where the feature works poorly.  For example, bug 720567 might fix the page in attachment 594979 [details].

Thanks for explanation. My opinion is that font size should be tiny by default as many user don't know this.
