TWITTER opens on my WIN 10 using Firefox as browser, but only view is small 25% 0r 10% view of entire page. ALL other BROWSERS open TWITTER in 100% view.

FIREFOX has no ability to make changes of page view.

I suspect a VIRUS or a HACKER planted inside my FIREFOX a program that reduces TWITTER logon to 25% or less view. MCAfee says none exist on my Dell Inspiron 5000 series. That leaves a FIREFOX problem. I no longer can use FIREFOX for TWITTER.

Check your zoom controls.

You may have ad / mal-ware. Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.
