There is an extension called NoSquint that might help.

After I got a 27" screen, I had problems with the interface text being too small as well. That can be fixed with Mozilla applications if you set up a userChrome.css file in the profile inside a subdirectory called chrome. The code I used:

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");


*{font-family: Trebuchet MS !important; font-size: 15px !important;}

If you install NoSquint, you can "zoom" all sites by default by setting a Global zoom level. You can still fine-tune the zoom on individual sites.

After installing NoSquint, click the % on the Add-on Bar to call up site preferences, then click the Global Settings button, then the Zooming tab.

If you don't have the Add-on Bar displayed, you can right-click the new tab button ("+") or a blank area of the tab bar to the right of it and choose Add-on Bar from the shortcut menu.

(This is an old screen shot; the details might have changed, but hopefully it's helpful.)

You can also look at this extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
