Presentation starts 5" from the left side of screen and pushes intellegence off the screen to the right.

The top of my screen is normal: the tool bar starts "File, Edit...

The body of the screen while running Firefox-and during typing of this message- is full of lite. The actual data: starting from the top of this page- "Firefox Help... Ask a new..." etc. starts 5 1/4 inches from the left of the page.

It's as if Firefox were presenting a wider page with the presentation moved to the right. This pushes the last, normal, 5" of the presentation off the screen.

The rite end of the bar which starts out: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/

is off the page, so the facilities at the rite end are lost.

Any presentation, including Amazon.com and Youtube.com are similarly pushed off the rite side of the screen by 5".

I have no access to the rite-most 5" of any internet presentation.

The sliders that move the presentation up and down and left/ rite are off the screen.

I have shrunk the display down so small, i can barely see the numbers: Control panel\ display \ settings \ 1920 by 1200. This gives the ILLUSION of centering the presentation, but still no sliders. At this setting, i can see the full width of Amazon. Youtube appears centered, with 4 1/4" on both left and rite, but no edge sliders.

I dropped the 'setting' to 1440 x 900.

Lost about 3" off the rite side of Amazon; barely on the rite edge of Youtube.

None of my local programming has a problem: Excel, pictures, videos, Word, even Internet Explorer goes full page and centered.

I un-installed Firefox and downloaded it fresh. It did NOT ask me to reboot my puter, so i didn't .

I can supply pictures (screen shots) of the phenomenon on request.

Chosen solution

- Open Firefox -> got to Help Menu -> select "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"

Firefox will close then it will open up with just basic Firefox. You can enable the Add-ons later. Check if its working.
