Lots of sites do not appear properly, ie words and characters overlap, pop ups not complete.

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.
