Certain websites appeared 'squashed' ie the text is overwritten as though the page has been slightly compressed to fit
I am using a Mac OSX 10.6.8. & Firefox 5.01. Certain pages have overlapping text which sometimes results in partialy covering some click boxes. If I use Chrome or Safari they are ok on same pages. The example below will show a little of what I mean but on this site in particular when I go into it further the problem increases and I cannot for example access my account because the button I need to click on is covered over with text

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause issues like you described.
-> Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
-> Firefox > Preferences > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
Check and tell if its working.

Websites look wrong
Check and tell if its working.
Thanks for fast reply. I have tried all the suggestions detailed but the problem persists. I have the problem on a number of sites and took a screenshot to show. Unfortunately it will not upload into the add images box below, stating 'invalid' perhaps because its a TIFF image?
It's a very annoying snag on a great browser, any more ideas?
use .jpg format, try to open it in MS Windows Paint and then Save As .jpg
OR Save the Screenshots using MS Paint
Eurekah!
Troubleshooting extensions and themes
Check and tell if its working.
No luck, just the same. I have opened the same page on Google Chrome so that you can see it does not appear a website problem.
i know not a website problem but could be a Add-on OR Plugin problem. Perform the steps mentioned in the link of the article i provided in my previous post.
Me again. I did try all the suggestions and just to be 100% I have just disabled them all again. It makes no difference. Thanks for all your efforts , fingers crossed you come up with something.

That did the trick, well done and thank you very much. Just have to get some stronger glasses now :o)
