CTRL+0 (<--that is a zero) will reset your zoom level on affected pages. Firefox remembers the zoom level you last used on a page.
See Firefox built-in Zoom functions:

If that does not fix the problem, you can try renaming the file (with Firefox closed; Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit) content-prefs.sqlite to content-prefs.sqlite.old (or delete the file) in the Profile Folder to reset the page zoom on all sites. That file will be re-created when you restart Firefox.

Be aware that increasing the minimum font can cause issues with text overlapping on sites that position text absolutely or text disappears (gets hidden), so the preferred way is to use an extension.
