how to resize screen display to only use half of the screen
in order to draft information from an internet site into a MS word paper, I want to set both the browser display site and the MS word document on the display at the same time (each receiving 1/2 of the display (left & right view). How do I do this? i'm technically challenged so tell me in grade school lingo

I can't test this on Windows 10, but...
On Windows 7, if you hold down the Windows key on the keyboard and then press the right arrow key, the currently active window will change shape. For example, if the window is maximized it will change to occupying the right half of the screen. Keep holding the Windows key and pressing the right arrow key to cycle through right, left, and restored/resizable. To maximize, use the up arrow key.
Hopefully you can use this hidden keyboard shortcut to set each application to half the screen easily without having to manually stretch/shrink and move windows. And it's a cool trick you can share with other people.

just came across this reply. apologies for the lateness.
while the above method works, you can also move the windows by holding the top part of the window and dragging them to the side of the screen. a silhouette of the window projected to be moved will be shown until you release the mouse button to where it will go.
it is especially tricky when it comes to multiple displays though, because if you move too far off from the primary display (or the original display it was opened in), it may move to the wrong display. this is a basic windows operation though, unrelated to Firefox though.
