Why does firefox display the same html content differently depending on what domain is used to access the file (eg www.cityescapesphotography.com and www.city-escapes-photography.com appear differently)

I have two domain names that point to the same content, unfortunately, they display differently in firefox (although the same in IE). In particular, the font sizes are extremely different. The sites are www.cityescapesphotography.com and www.city-escapes-photography.com and the difference appears for any pages. There are, as far as I can tell, no css files that have an impact, and the html can be extremely simple (see /test-home.html). The browser is running concurrently on the same computer, displaying both pages concurrently, so configuration should not be a cause for differences. Cache has been cleared.

Looks the same to me, too. Might be helpful if you specified a DOCTYPE, Character Encoding meta tag, and a Parse Model to give Firefox a chance of rendering those pages in the Standards Compliant mode, instead of the Quirks Mode. http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.city-escapes-photography.com/

I had the exact same issue...the solution was one of those "duh...I'm an idiot" deals. With the site displaying in Firefox (using the domain name that is not displaying correctly), in the Firefox menu bar go to View > Zoom > Reset. Duh. Baddabing. :-)
