web pages display too small
When I open any website it displays at a reduced size. I can zoom in but I would prefer the to display at their normal size to begin with.

CTRL+0 (<--that is a zero) will reset your zoom level on affected pages. Firefox remembers the zoom level you last used on a page.
See Firefox built-in Zoom functions:
If that does not fix the problem, you can try renaming the file (with Firefox closed; Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit) content-prefs.sqlite to content-prefs.sqlite.old (or delete the file) in the Profile Folder to reset the page zoom on all sites. That file will be re-created when you restart Firefox.

- You can use the button to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Also, please check if Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above is enabled in Tools (Alt + T) > Options > Content > Advanced (in Fonts & Colors). If the screen resolution is big, you can also try to set a Minimum font size here, for eg. 16. Options > Content
If you previously set the zoom for the sites you can Reset the saved preference of individual sites by pressing Ctrl + 0 (zero).

Be aware that increasing the minimum font can cause issues with text overlapping on sites that position text absolutely or text disappears (gets hidden), so the preferred way is to use an extension.
