I am using Firefox on a new ASUS high resolution ultrabook running Windows 8 Home Premium. My favorite news site originally displayed normally but somehow I am now stuck in a very low res and I can't get back to the original display. Not sure whether this is Firefox or the computer. All other sites are normal hi res. .

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

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

You can rename the content-prefs.sqlite file to content-prefs.sqlite.old (or delete the file) in the Profile Folder to reset the page zoom for all websites.

  • Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder

Check that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode or with a reduced screen resolution. Make sure that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode. You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab. Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.

You can also check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.
