The font size in Console, HTML and CSS is really small and I cannot
see the content anymore. I tried to disable all other add-ons and the
problem is still there. So it should not be the problem of
compatibility. Please fix it. Thanks

Try to reset font size.

Firebug icon menu -> Text Size -> Normal Text Size

Or shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + 0 (Firebug UI must be focused)

Does it help?

It help nothing!.
In my case. The font size is large enough to read in tab and menu, but the text in content of Console, HTML and CSS is same size as dots. It is too small to read. If I try to increase the font size. the text on tab and menu will be too large!

This could be related to:
http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=4489

But I would rather expect the font being large. Could you please post
information about you configuration (OS, Firefox, ...) and attach a
screenshot?

Also, you can try:
1) Reset all options: Firebug icon menu -> Options -> Reset All
Firebug Options
2) Create a new Firefox profile with only Firebug

I am using Windows 7 and Firefox 5.0.1. Following your instruction, I created a new profile in Firefox and only installed the Firebug 1.8. Font size problem is still here. You can see the small font below:

The font size is big enough now. But after click "Increase Text Size", the text become small again.

I believe issue 4896 describes exactly that.
This problem seems to occur just on Chinese fonts. Jimmy, could you please have a look which fonts you have defined as defaults? These are available via Firefox menu > Options > Content > Fonts & Colors > Advanced.... A screenshot of that dialog would be enough. Thanks.

Then please first ensure you reset the font size via Firebug Menu > Text Size > Normal Text Size. Does it help?
If not, please follow issue 4896 and describe your configuration there.
