I have (2) computers using the exact same version of Firefox and same model of monitor. On some web pages (e.g. CNN.com), one monitor has the content fills up the entire page (starting from the top right to bottom left), while the other monitor has a 1.5-inch blank space on both the left and right sides. I matched all the Firefox settings between the two but I still see the difference. How do I eliminate the blank space? Thanks.

Does the window have the same dimensions for both computers, or is one window wider?

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
