For some reason today, when I want to upload a photo to facebook, ancestry or wherever and I am using firefox as my engine, the upload photo file pane opens huge, covering my entire screen. There is no minimize option and if I hover over the edges it won't let me pull it in smaller either. I do not have this problem if I use explorer engine, the photo upload pane opens the correct size so that I can still see the site I am logged on to and working on. I have no idea why this happened just today or why. I have already done a restart of my computer and also cleared my history cache. I am attaching one showing too big screen that opens when I want to upload a photo

It is Alt + Space and not Control + Space to open the system menu with items like Resize.

What are you using to do the "photo" uploads?

Do you have a file upload add-on installed in Firefox? If so, what is the name of that add-on.

Or is that a feature that is on the website to where you are uploading those images?

Can you open the system menu via Alt+Space and resize the window that way if you can't do this by dragging the bottom right corner?

When I am uploading a photo to facebook or ancestry and am using the firefox search engine, the file upload on firefox opens so huge that it covers the entire computer screen and no way to minimize or drag corner to reduce. Also control space did nothing.

If I use chrome or explorer and do the upoad, the upload file on those search engines open properly at the usual size, so I can see my ancestry site and the photo files on my computer properly.

It is only firefox that is huge. I am attempting to upload photos of what I am talking about. First photo is just right and opened with explorer. Note the upload screen is small. 2nd photo is opening the same upload with firefox and it is huge.

Got no idea what those images show.

Please provide screenshots from inside your computer using what is built into Windows 10 - the Snipping Tool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snipping_Tool

Or see this support article. How do I create a screenshot of my problem?

It is best to save a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed a maximum file size of 1 MB.

That fixed it Alt+space and then I selected restore and it reduced it. Thanks!!!!
