I have Windows 8 Pro x64 and Firefox and Internet 10 as my browsers. Recently when I type in the search bar in Firefox and go to the search items the page appears over to the far left and not centered like before.. The actual sites are centered though. IE 10 is also the same. I didn't tweak or change anything! I use 1920 by 1080 for my TV Monitor. This change is recent. I have cleared cookies,cache and reinstalled firefox over the old. I have turned off all extensions and plugins and still search pages go to the far left to view. When I go to a website it is centered just when I go to searching the serches are all to the far left and to the right is all white.

Can you take a picture of your browser and post it here? It sounds like you have a side window open on the page, but you did not say that you see one.

Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.

"Clear the Cache":

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

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.
