Any site I browse with Firefox tends to overwrite text and often the sides of pages are cut off; sometimes forms can`t be filled-in or checkboxes accessed. My email is: peter.bridgwater@gmail.com

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Reset the page zoom on websites that look wrong: "View > Zoom > Reset" ( Ctrl + 0 (zero)) See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages See Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages and Font size and zoom - increase the size of web pages and Change the fonts and colors websites use .......... If you increased the minimum font size then try a lower setting (default is none) as a too high value can cause issues like you described. Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Advanced > Minimum Font Size Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors: Advanced > "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" .......... If you need to increase (or decrease) the font size on websites then look at: NoSquint - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/2592 Default FullZoom Level - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/6965

The problem is not on a whole website. Some fonts are read fine. However, usually some parts of text are larger than in other browsers such as google chrome, opera, ie.

It seems that Firefox doesn't allow some classes or ids to change font size from default and ignors font sizes difined.

Try to have a look at www.elektroskop.pl and go to any item or collection. Sometimes it works fine, I mean the details' font size is about 12px, sometimes 16px. Font size in CSS is flexible and set as 90%.

Any idea why it happens?

Plese find 2 screenshots enclosed. The proper one with smaller letters was displayed after 50 refreshes of website.
