The Yahoo sign in page takes up more than the entire screen, can this be corrected?

Starting with Firefox 41 or 42 the sign in page for Yahoo.com started appearing in a very large font and takes up more than the entire screen. I've tried changing various options, and fonts, but to no avail. I've deleted Firefox and did a fresh install. I've also tried "safe mode." Although I have not tried using the "refresh Firefox" option.

Since it only happens with Firefox and only with the Yahoo sign in page and the Yahoo account info page the assumption would be that it is a Yahoo problem and not Firefox.

I am hoping, though, that someone will know what is causing this problem and know how to fix it.

Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions. Steve

Hi nakikita.

You can rename (or delete) the content-prefs.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder to reset the page zoom for all websites.

Type about:support in the address bar and press enter.

Under the page logo on the left side you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To it’s right press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.

Locate the file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.

Thank you Michal & Fred for your suggestions. I really appreciate your help.

Adjusting the zoom fixed it.

I'll need to write down the info about the content-prefs.sqlite file, I may need that some day.

Glad to help. Safe Surfing.
