Searching from Yahoo using Firefox, the descriptions from the search results are super imposed on top of the web addresses from those search results. I tried the thing where you let web pages control the text and i also reduced the text sizes but neither worked. At this point, I have no choice but to use Chrome to do my internet searches.

See uploaded capture of what I'm talking about. Thanks

Make sure you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

  • Settings -> General: Fonts & Colors -> Advanced
    [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above"

Thanks, but I have already tried that setting and it did not resolve the problem.
