You are expecting that the CSS large/small/x-small/etc match those of TeX. No, that is not the expectation. (It would be impossible, anyway. All these things are dynamically changeable in TeX.) The expectation is that firefox not reduce the size used when font-size:smaller is specified

In the printed manual, is text smaller or the same size as text? The result of @smallexample is smaller than the result of @example in printed manuals. Definitely each user can change the default browser settings, but I would hope pages would be readable without browser modifica

Does @smallexample come out as 8pt or so? It definitely looks smaller than 10pt on my screen. It comes out as whatever your browser tells it to, hopefully depending on what font size you have set. This is why different users see different things. The effect should be similar to using ...
