Gmail has a sign out button, but Firefox screen is so wide, that this button is cut in half vertically, so it is impossible to see it, much less click on it to close gmail. How to rectify?

Hi, try changing the zoom level (Ctrl and + key, or Ctrl and - key). More - Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

At View/Zoom/Ctrl ++ or Ctrl--, the Firefox font gets bigger or smaller. But the Gmail sign out button stays cut in half, with the sign-out part blocked off, invisible.

This problem does not exist for Yahoo mail.
