Often I open a page and it appears smaller than I want, sometimes like a postage stamp, sometimes like a third size, and sometimes as I want it, full page as if I clicked the square box on the top of the page. This got MUCH worse after the last update.

These are regular pages, not special in any way that I know of. They worked as intended a few weeks ago, then changed by themselves.

I really want ALL pages to appear at the largest size EVERY time I open them, WITHOUT having to click the sizing box at all (DEFAULT).

How do I fix this ?
