don't know what else to add. the page fills my screen, so it's full size, but the words to the right and left sides are simply cut off mid-word or just missing. easy to tell especially at the beginnings of paragraphs!

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Okay, I had this same problem not that long ago. I was tinkering with Firefox to try to fix it and I found a way that worked for me. If you downloaded the Babylon Translation software it downloads a toolbar for it in the browser; what I did was simply remove the toolbar and the window, size, etc. all went back to normal.

I had this problem and nothing here helped.. but as it turned out my monitor's position settings were just out of alignment! I simply hit 'Auto Adjust' and it's fixed now :D
