When I zoom in to increase text size it changes the layout of certain websites where banners and links overlap eachother instead of expanding outward to accomodate their increase in size

Certain websites are affected adversely by zooming in to increase the size of text on my Mac. The banners and links of some websites start to overlap each other instead of expanding outward into the white space in the browser. This occurs mostly on news websites such as Washington Post and Huffingtonpost. It occurred once on Facebook but it was resolved after quitting and restarting Firefox. The same does not solve the problem on Huffintonpost.
