Screen scaling too large
Hi, My web page scaling is too large. they are so large that most of the webpage are very difficult to use as only a fraction of the screen shows. Using the 2 finger on the keypad, I can increase the scaling making the page even larger but when trying too reduce the scaling it stops at the original setting. I cannot shrink it further. I tried on different browser and I do not have that issue. Never noticed it before because I usually work with external 4K monitor and the increase scaling in that case is almost mandatory. Tonight i am working on my laptop(Asus Zenbook 14) without external screens and no mouse. Attached is the screenshot of this page. I cannot make it smaller. Any parameter/trick to resolve this issue?

If there is still a problem, Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Did this help?
While you are in safe mode;
Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.

Manage site-specific zoom levels and color settings
Firefox 83 introduced "magnification-style" pinch zooming in Firefox for Windows. This doesn't have a way to zoom out to shrink the display.
So far, I have not seen a foolproof way to switch it back to the old gesture that manipulates the page zoom level. For now you might need to use one of these methods:
Keyboard: hold down the Ctrl key and tap - to zoom out (or + or zoom in)
Menu: on the main menu, click the - button on the Zoom row
Toolbar: there are optional zoom control buttons you can add using Customize (see: Customize Firefox controls, buttons and toolbars)
Mouse scroll wheel: holding Ctrl and rotating the wheel toward and away from you should also zoom the page
