I have window content sizing issues

I have ''sizing'' issues. I am using Mozilla Firefox browser. I set www.foxnews.com as home page. I used it for two months and suddenly the size is about 40% of original size. What has happened? Also, I have google search on tool bar. Everything I search for is about 300% size. Can you help ?? Also leaving mouse cursor on an item will cause it to open without clicking ... very annoying ... any suggestions?

    I tried, but could not "stretch" ... I tried Ctrl & mouse ... any other suggestions? Thanks for trying to help.

I'm not so certain about how the crazy search size thing happened... but I do know that if you hold down on Ctrl and scroll down with your mouse it will decrease the font-size on the web-page you are viewing.

As far as your browser window sizing, firefox saves the non-maximized window size every time you shut it down(exit firefox). What I suggest is that you open a firefox window in the non-maximized window size, and stretch & position it the way that you like it... and then exit firefox. Pop-up ads and windows will mess with the window sizing without a person even knowing about it... rather annoying if I do say so myself.

I hope that works out for you.

Change my facebook text size

1.Change the font size of your browser. In Internet Explorer go to File Menu - View - Text Size - medium( or as per your requirement)

In Mozilla Firefox go to Tools - Option - Content - Default Font - modify as per requirement.

2.If the above doesnt work and you have different font sizes on different pages of FB then clear your cache and cookies and temporary internet files from Tools - Options

3. If the above still doesnt work then upgrading to the most recent version of your browser would be advisable. Latest versions are available at :

( for mozilla)

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer
/default.aspx (for internet explorer 8)

Hope this helps
