For example: The question "Forgot your password" is partially on top of a log in button.

The log on button is dead. 

The "Forgot your password" function does work when it is clicked.

Words that belong on a second line are partially superimposed over words in the first line.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
See:

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"
