Such issues can happen if you have increased the minimum font size in Options/Preferences or are zooming the page (Zoom Text Only).

If you have made changes to Advanced font size settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the Default font size setting "16" and the Minimum font size setting "none" in case the current setting is causing the problem.

  • Options/Preferences -> General: Fonts & Colors -> Advanced -> Minimum Font Size (none)

Make sure you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

  • Options/Preferences -> General: 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 to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not getting displayed properly.

I'm not seeing any ads on that page, so I it isn't possible to replicate your issue.

You could use the builtin Page Inspector to see what is happening, it looks that some absolute positioning is used for the elements and that the ad frame is higher that expected.
