Probably the best way to do this (and ensure that it sticks) is to do
this:

In your ~/.mozilla/something/somethingrandom/chrome/ directory, create a
file called userChrome.css
Into it, place something like:

* {
    font-family: verdana !important;
    font-size: 12pt !important;
  }

Really all you _need_ to set is font-size.  Note that it's just a normal
CSS file for the most part, so you can use the various ways of
specifying the font size (pt, px, mm) if you so desire.

I use this with mozilla and phoenix to ensure that I get XFT AA'd fonts
for my menus.. you can also do the same in userContent.css, with entries
like:

input {
      font-family: verdana !important;
      font-size: 12pt !important;
  }
select {
      font-family: verdana !important;
      font-size: 12pt !important;
  }
textarea {
      font-family: verdana !important;
      font-size: 12pt !important;
  }

...Which will force all the basic form components to use that specific
font/size.

What can I say, I like to be consistent :-)
