When I opened Yahoo mail from Firefox the font size suddenly shrunk and I can hardly read it. Font size in emails not affected. Inbox, sent list etc are all much smaller. No problem when using Safari. I note from internet forums that others have had this problem.

I managed to solve the problem by clicking on"view" in Firefox, then "zoom" and "zoom in". I don't know why the problem happened in the first place so will follow your advice. Thanks
