Recently the size of the display has got bigger than the screen and I have to either slide left/right to read it all or (better) use zoom to reduce it to fit. How do I set it so that it fits always without my doing anything? It used to be that way!

Chosen solution

It is possible that the screen is too wide or too high.

  • Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.
  • Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window (use the keyboard cursor keys).

If that works then first close all other open Firefox windows and then close Firefox via "File > Exit/Quit" to save that setting.
