The lines in my yahoo e-mail where it shows senders name & subject whether it's inbox, sent, or trash are so scrunched up I can't read them. When I go to move my courser over something I want to click on it show's hot before I get over top of it. My compose link doesn't work at all. It all works fine on internet explorer. Please help me solve this. I love firefox & don't want to have to leave it.

Thank you Fred for responding to my query. That wasn't my problem but I solved it by simply opening menu and zooming in a few clicks, then zooming out a few clicks. Problem solved! Thanks again, peace

Jerry,

You could've pressed Ctrl + 0 to reset the zoom size back to the default 100%.

Tips for zooming in & out

  • Ctrl + 0 - resets to 100%
  • Ctrl + plus sign - zoom in by 10%
  • Ctrl + minus sign -> zoom out by 10%

I'll go ahead and mark your question as solved since you seemed to have fixed it.

Yea Moses I use that method when I load a news page that has a really small font. Never thought of using that for my e-mail, duh
