On the web browser the tool bars have grown to fill half the screen. Book marks i was able to control but can find no solution for the others. I cant use fire fox like this. Opera and many others did this in the past and we all came over to fire fox because you were one of the few who didnt take half the screen from us. Is there a solution 

other than full screen?

Hi

It is a bit unusual for the toolbars to take up half of the screen. There have not been any changes to the user interface that would lead to that in that last few months.

Would it be possible to share a screenshot of what you are seeing? Toolbars covering 50% of the screen must make browsing the web very hard so I hope that the screenshot will help us to look into this further for you.

You can look at this thread:

  • /questions/1384204 SINCE THE LAST UPDATE, THE FIREFOX SCREEN DOES NOT FIT MY SYSTEM SETTING(125%)
If setting browser.display.os-zoom-behavior = 0 doesn't work for you then you can create a new Number pref on the about:config page and set its value to 100.

Paste ui.textScaleFactor in the search bar and select the Number radio button and click the '+' button to add the new Number pref, enter the value (100) and click the blue OK button to confirm.

  • about:config => ui.textScaleFactor = 100

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. On the warning page, you can click "Accept the Risk and Continue" to open about:config.
