Problems with FF 6.0, many sites display overlapping text. Tried many suggestions from knowledge base; no success.
On many sites, text is displayed on top of other text, making much of it unreadable. In some instances, it appeared as though what might have been two "columns" were not adequately separated. have tried many of the solutions to do with "View' . Nothing makes any improvement. Thanks for your assistance.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause issues like you described.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
You can use one of these extensions to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:
- Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
- NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
Many thanks,Cor-El, these tips were very useful. Also, I now can solve such things as invisible "go/enter" buttons presumably caused by the same issues, but which I forgot to mention. However, the text itself remained impossibly minute until the no-squint add-on was loaded. I didn't try the full zoom level add-on yet. Cheers.
