firefox with yahoo home page opens only half way on the laptop screen. That is first half of the laptop screen is blank while the yahoo window will start on 2nd half horizontally. all web sites will also be displayed on half of the screen (2nd half). in case of other browsers such as internet explorer or chrome all web windows will display fully on the screen.I tried to uninstall and reinstall the Firefox but the problem has persisted. so much so i have stopped using FIREFOX FOR BROWSING. KINDLY HELP IN TRACING THE FAULT.
