Details
The html.css sets the font for input type=text to "-moz-fixed" which sets it to a monospaced font (courier). If I set the font via inline style to sans-serif it does not change the text field's font it remains monospace. This used to work a few weeks ago when I was doing all my form control sizing work and most specifically the text field. I did the work using both the default font and sans-serif. This is a DOGFOOD because the font is used to calculate the height and width of the text control and if it isn't correct then the text controls get sized incorrectly and pages layout badly.

It's a dup of bug 17303. The font family is overridden by a hard-coded style rule called PlaintextInitalStyle in nsTextEditRules.cpp. It means that all the text input fields in the application are in monospace font. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 17303 ***

Verified dup of #17303
