Webpages are not as wide as my 17" monitor. There is space on both sides. Explorer does not do this. Zooming in does not help. Is there a fix?
I installed firefox as I heard it is better than exployer. The problem is that the webpages are not as wide as my screen. They reach from top to bottom, but not to each side. I look at the same pages on exployer and they are "full screen". The zoom only makes the fonts larger. It does not make it fit the screen. I hope there is a fix.
This is windows 7.

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:
- Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/

I have a 17.6 inch monitor as well, but what really matters is the aspect ratio. Can you find your aspect ratio and give me a sample link so I can understand what you are talking about?

Please explain aspect ratio and where to find it.
You are on windows 7? Right click on your desktop and click Screen Resolution from the drop-down menu. The window that comes up should have your screen resolution. (mine is 1600 x 900)
Are you using full page zoom?

Thanks for all the help. I downloaded the extension from the second post. It seems to have fixed my problem. Some pages still load in the "narrow" format, but I can zoom them out and they fill the whole page. Firefox seems to remember the zoomed version the next time that I load the page. Happy for now.
Thanks again.
