Since installing Firefox as my default browser, and removing Internet Explorer 9,which was awful, my Homepage screen is just in the middle of my screen with very small print and empty space on each side of it. Can the be fixed?

Three days ago I installed Internet Explorer 9 as my browser. When I tried to sign in to my email on my homepage I couldn't. I contacted my service provider and they said that Explorer 9 was not compatible with them as it is in Beta form and also in test mode.

They suggested that I remove Explorer 9 and install Firefox, which I did. Then they said it was a good idea to have more than one browser at a time and to go into the Microsoft site and download Explorer 8. I tried this and it would not let me go back to Explorer 8 only forward to 9 which I reinstalled. After all of this my Homepage only fills up the middle of my screen and I have empty space on either side of the picture. When I browse, the site I go to opens up to full page, but the print is much smaller than before. I don't know what I installed to make my viewing so much smaller or my homepage to shrink. Also do I really need 2 browsers or can I just go with Firefox? If so, how will not having Internet Explorer affect my browsing?

Firefox is set as my default browser and I am enjoying using it, I just wish I had my Homepage back to full screen!

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

When going to a website the picture was small - tried changing the Zoom size , tried Zoom Reset - the text did change size but the layout distorts - found under View - Zoom - Zoom Text Only was checked --- Removed this check mark and the website returned to normal size and Zoom worked normally again. I am 99.9999% sure I did NOT check this myself and there is no one else on the computer to cause it. Maybe this will help.
