I noticed in this discussion that firefox is removed from this issue,
however "Bug #121738 in firefox (Ubuntu)" is makred a duplicate of this
and it shows a difference between firefox menu font (not its contents)
with the gnome menus.

I have that same problem that the firefox menu font is too small, see attachment.
No matter which DPI I choose (in system->Pref->Appearance->Font->detail) it
won't influence font sizes in my situation: I have a beamer connected and I want
larger than default as I'm watching it from several metres away.
So I prefer the system font at 14pts, but as firefox shows fonts too small I need
to set it up to 18pts.

So don't forget that there are also users with beamers using Ubuntu.
