Hi Ken, 
I found a duplicate report in the Mozilla "Bugzilla" website and it provides a 
solution.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502371

To quote comment number 3:
"This may be specific to the locale based on any strings being longer than in 
the en-US version. The other option may be that your DPI value is wrong and 
thus the fonts larger than intended. If you go into the Advanced > Config 
Editor preference settings, find layout.css.dpi and set it to a default of 96 
by double-clicking on that entry. If this doesn't work, reduce that value to 
shrink the sizes. I've seen cases where KDE passed a wrong DPI value down to 
Thunderbird and therefore caused issues with the dialog display."

Attached is the screen print of my DPI settings before I changed it and
you can see that it is set to "-1"

I will attach another screenshot to the next comment, of the settings after I 
changed it to 96. And the new setting makes the items in my preferences window 
smaller and so now everything fits in the window. 
Will you try it?
Thanks
G
