Why does my browser page suddenly zoom way out? Where is the zoom bar that use to exist that enabled one to use the zoom in and out bar?

I mis-typed - I think i may be hitting some key and/or mouse pad combo to cause the screen to suddenly zoom out and everything is instantly smaller.

Check your zoom controls.

<Control> + (plus) enlarge <Control> - (minus) reduce <Control> 0 (zero) restore

If you hold the { Ctrl } key and use the Mouse scroll button (middle button) that will zoom webpages in or out.
