Until now the BBC News website has always loaded in the centre of the screen and at a reasonable size. Now it loads much bigger and takes up the full width of the screen. I have tried loading it in Chrome and it loads correctly. The problem is just with Firefox. I am using the latest version of Firefox and Windows 7.

You may have accidentally zoomed web page(s). Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • View -> Zoom -> Reset (Ctrl+0/Command+0 (zero))

Clear the cache and remove the cookies from websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button (Options/Preferences).

"Clear the cache":

  • Firefox/Options/Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"

"Remove the cookies" from websites that cause problems.

  • Firefox/Options/Preferences -> Privacy -> "Use custom settings for history" -> Cookies: "Show Cookies"
