So, if you've accessed some specific pages then all subsequent pages that you open have a Firefox window that is much larger?

How long does such a change last?

If you open a new window, does that window show the same behavior (i.e. is it connected to a specific window) or does the new window show the same behavior without opening one of those sites?


Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

Can you attach a screenshot to show what you mean?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
