cbc.ca fills upthe vertical screen axis completely, but the page only fills half of the horizontal axis of the screen. There is still half of a blank page on the computer screen. How do I change the way the web page loads so that the complete computer screen is used?

Are you loading that page from a saved bookmark?

Right-click that bookmark and select Properties, then un-check the preference for Load this bookmark in the sidebar, and then click Save.

Using JavaScript buttons on web pages for "Bookmark this Page" causes that preference to be selected when saving the bookmark in that manner. So, don't use those buttons, use the "Bookmark this Page" feature that is built into Firefox instead.

No, I'm loading the add-on by clicking on an add-on icon that is located on the firefox toolbar. It's automation software for "plentyoffish.com and would be sweet, except that when it opens, you see only a part of the POF page, and the rest (the right half) is empty. What is occuring, and how do I correct it?
