DISPLAY PROBLEMS SPECIFIC TO MOZILLA FIREFOX WHEN VIEWING THE SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

My computer is a high end MSI GT 70 ONE laptop running Win7, with a 27 inch Samsung display via HDMI. During the last week I have run into major display problems on Mozilla Firefox with the Sydney Morning Herald ("SMH"). The font size of the SMH is now microscopic to the point of illegibility,and the layout is both incomplete and degraded, with click-able links no longer working reliably. The other Fairfax newspaper I read online (The Newcastle Herald) doesn't have any display problems; nor does Murdoch newspaper, The Australian. When I switch to Internet Explorer I don't have any of these display problems.

Thanks for this solution, also supplied by Cor-el. It's simple and it works perfectly of course -- I was looking in the wrong direction.

As an ageing newbie, this has been my first experience of asking for help from a forum. Its been a good one!
