I have adjusted my font in Preferences to the smallest possible. I have installed Theme Font and Size Changer, and the frame is fine now. I now want to shrink the actual website content, but the Zoom Function in my browser will not go below 1 AFAIK. Besides, all websites are just too huge. I read the other current thread to about the zoom function, and went to about:config to try Happy112's fix, but in Linux, the zoom Max and Min is not in percents; it's in integers. Zoom:Max is set at 300 and Zoom:Min at 30. I have no idea what to set them for to get a 75% permanent setting. 

I haven't been able to look at the other fix suggested in that thread yet, but would like Ubuntu Linux specific help to solve the problem of enormous websites.

I could try to add a screenshot, but the option of posting a screenshot from the new Firefox screenshot saved to clipboard isn't available in the Add Images. Here is the link:https://screenshots.firefox.com/2gNeujrCnGjXOWGy/support.mozilla.org

You can try to fix the issue by going to the Help --> About page from the Firefox Toolbar to try and force Firefox to update as the current version is 56.0.2 Alternatively Note : Firefox 57 Quantum release date Nov 14th https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/quantum/

If you need this immediately fixed. Uninstall Firefox and reinstall with 56.0.2 Full Version Installer https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

Note that there is some errors in your video card drivers GeForce GT 610/PCIe/SSE2 should update : https://www.geforce.com/drivers
