Comment (by trebor79):

 Replying to [comment:2 azaozz]:
 > Personally I like the text in FF more. Since 3.2.1 WP uses the default
 font set in the browser and similar fonts may appear slightly larger or
 smaller at the same size. Try setting the font in FF.

 I guess my biggest issue is that the larger text throws off the sense of
 hierarchy on the menus (when in collapsed mode) since the menu headings
 are not bold and are no longer any larger than the menu options.

 It also causes some lines to wrap to another line because of the larger
 text when they did not previously.

 I have tried changing the default font size in Firefox. While it does seem
 to affect some other sites (Google results, for example), it does not have
 any noticeable bearing on the font size in WP 3.2.1's admin section.
