After installing the latest version, only about one quarter of the page is visible in the window. How do I shrink it to fit?

I can use the View menu at the top and 'Zoom Out' 4-5 times to be able to see the entire page but when I go to another site or page it reverts back to a size too large to be displayed wholly in the window. This is unacceptable and I need a solution or I will have to use another browser.

hello, firefox 22 is now respecting the pixel density you've set on a system level in the windows control panel > appearance > display. more information about that is available at http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/make-the-text-on-your-screen-larger-or-smaller

if you want to set the text size/pixel density in firefox different from that of your system's settings like it was handled in prior versions, enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named layout.css.devPixelsPerPx. double-click it and change its value to 1.0 (or any other zoom factor that fits your purpose; -1.0 is the default value and will adhere to the system settings).
