Hi rpang, that would happen if you used the scroll wheel while holding down the Ctrl key. Ctrl+wheel zooms instead of scrolling.

To reset the zoom level on the page, either:

  • look in the address bar for a zoom level indicator (e.g., 50%) and click that -- it's a reset button
  • hold down the Ctrl key and tap 0 on the keyboard (that's a zero)

Can you get it back to normal?

Thanks. I actually saw that zoom indicator just before trying a reboot.
