I am having view problems on Firefox browser. At times, website menu texts are jumbled or overlayed over the next line option. This is not the problem when I use Internet Explorer 8. I am running a 64-bit Windows 7 System and have downloaded the latest version of Mozilla Firefox.

Particular example is a gay website, and I don't want to offend anyone by posting the site.

Reset the page zoom on websites that look wrong: "View > Zoom > Reset" (Ctrl + 0 (zero))

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages

If you increased the minimum font size then try a lower setting (default is none) as a too high value can cause issues like you described.

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