Ah, this is it. I was using the "URW Gothic" font. And when I change
the theme font thru gnomecc to Verdana or even good ol' Helvetica,
Mozilla's embedded widgets go back to a sane size. 

Some other fonts are still freaky (Arial has been replaced by some
horrible font with curly tips), but now I have a useable browser
again. I can be happy now, and return to a more leisurely investigation
of the font setup.

Thanks much!
