I am having an issue where some sites do not render correctly. It is usually found on sites where there are multiple columns and one or several columns float on scrolling. The central column will "hide" behind the right or left-hand column/s and be unreadable as result. I am including one example below, and this one doesn't even float the columns, but has the same issue

Are you using an increased minimum font size or do you zoom pages otherwise?

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages

If you increased the minimum font size then try the default setting 'none' as a high value can cause issues like you described.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
