True.  I see that in Firefox we now have both "Full Zoom" and "Text 
Zoom" settings which can be adjusted up or down independently of each 
other.  It is the combined effect of certain settings of each that 
causes the text in the viewport to be placed way at the bottom.  I can 
adjust that combination to make the text in the viewpane visible at the 
top of the page.

But it just so happens that that combination works well (for me) on 
other web pages, so when I wanted to go to act.qa-hackathon.org, the 
display that immediately came up was what I reported.  So, a less than 
satisfactory user experience.

Thank you very much.
