we can only get half the screen. the cats stepped on the keyboard, and we went from a full screen to a minimized screen and now can not get the full screen back. Any idea what key they stepped on, or what I need to do to fix it?

One of our cats walked across the keyboard while we were on facebook. We had a full screen at that time, but when he stepped on one of the keys, it minimized the page. We get basically the center of the page, but lose the left hand side. Also, we can not move the page or scroll over to the left. I have no idea what key he stepped on, or what key to hit, or what to do. I have uninstalled Mozilla Firefox, and then reinstalled it, and that still didn't work. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

You may need to check for caret browsing (F7 toggles that) as well if you get a cursor if you click on the web page in case your cat pressed F7 as well.
