I believe it's cell spacing. In a row there will be from top to bottom, space, words/number, space. I don't know why, but just one day every website has large spaces. I checked with several website to ask if they changed their cell spacing or cell padding and they report no. I'm assuming it's FireFox.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" in case the current setting is causing problems.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)

Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text.

All that aforementioned is already done and the problem remains. Thank you, Randy

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Make sure that you have saved the screenshots as a compressed JPG file.
You should be able to do this in a program like MS Paint.
Bitmap files are too large and may not be accepted.
You can check the file size (shouldn't exceed 1 MB).
