Everything is too wide

[Abraxas]

OK, something has changed around here - suddenly I have to scroll left-right to see an entire post.
Everything used to wrap to the width of the window I was browsing in (to a certain extent - I could reduce the window to the point where I still had width issues) now, even with the window maximized, I have to scroll left -right. I haven't changed any settings on this machine - so any idea what's up?

Can you post a screen shot? And what resolution is your monitor?

 

[Abraxas]

Screen resolution is 1440 x 900 which is the best I can do with this old machine I do most of my browsing with.

Screen shots are attached

it sounds like you've unitentionally zoomed in on firefox (it's an easy thing to do by accident with your mouse's scroll wheel, or some short-key keyboard combination i forget but know i've accidently used before).

But, see if this fixes it. In firefox, go to View -> Zoom -> Reset

Does everything go back to how you're used to it being?

You can still use zoom, just use the zoom text only option.

Working on a small laptop (1024x768 screen), I have the same issue - and at standard zoom and the browser full-screen, I have a similar issue.

If I zoom *out*, I can see a standard page normally.

fba827 and frankthedm - thanks you two, that was it and now it is fixed and I am very happy - no more side scrolling.

Now I'm wondering what I did to cause that to happen.

Pressed "Ctrl" & "+" or maybe someone else used your PC.

The latter is most likely it.
