Why don't all websites automatically resize to fit the firefox window (when 'normal' size). Several updates ago - webpages stopped 'resizing'. Webpages that formally displayed fine, are now too large (the indicator shows 100%, but I must reduce it to 80% to display as it did before). I have - and have always had - my bookmarks sidebar 'open' and websites resized depending on the amount of space available. This no longer happens. Reducing or enlarging the bookmarks sidebar only 'slides' the webpage R or L to view the additional info (like using the scrollbar on the bottom). This only happens on some websites (e.g. Home depot) - but other resize as normal (e.g. Motley Fool). Is this a Firefox issue or the website developer issue?

thanks

This usually happens when the website uses absolute values for positioning elements instead of letting the browser take care of this. In such a case you can only manually zoom in or zoom out to adjust the page to fit the window width. There are also websites that use @media rules to provide different layouts for various screen dimensions.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
