When I start computer or use IE9, everything is normal size. Just yesterday, problem started with FIrefox enlarging icons on my desktop and everything else after opening. Reducing print size does not help because top of screen, tabs, address bar remains huge while only text of an article shrinks.

Check that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode or with reduced screen resolution. You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab. Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
