Why are webpages narrow on Windows 7 with Firefox 6?
Recently got a new PC that has Windows 7 installed. I downloaded Firefox as my browser. Version 6. All webpages are narrow and font size is small. Do no have this problem if I use IE. Is there a setting that I need to change in Firefox?

If you have increased the minimum font size then choose the default setting "none".
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.

Check and tell if its working.
Checked all my settings as you suggested and they were all set at the levels you indicated. Still had the problem of narrow webpages and font so small it gave me a headache to try to read. Finally installed the No Squint add-on and so far seems to be an improvement.
