iMac Display Problem
Why has it gone to totally filling my landscape-shaped iMac screen ? My page remains A4 Portrait in the centre, with acres of empty white either side.

Hi Nigel, what is bigger today -- toolbar heights, icons, text, everything? Okay, I thought this was just a Windows issue but maybe it's also a Mac issue. Here's my write-up for Windows users, but you might want to see whether you get any Mac advice.
Firefox 103 now applies the Windows "Make text bigger" setting as a zoom multiplier (Release Notes).
If you like the effect that Windows setting has in other programs, you probably want to keep it. BUT, if it's not needed, the simplest thing you can do is reset that to 100% to resolve the issue:
Otherwise, Firefox 103 has 3 interrelated hidden settings that control the overall zoom level and whether it considers information from the system. This one seems to be working for many people to revert the change:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste ui.textScaleFactor and pause while the list is filtered.
Normally, Firefox will display a bar with Boolean Number String and a plus button. If Firefox displays a row that already has a number value, skip to step 5.
(3) Click the circular button in front of Number and then click the + button to create a new preference. (See composite screenshot below.)
(4) Firefox should display an editing field, and show a value of 0 -- edit the value to 100 then press Enter or click the blue check mark button to save the change.
(5) If the current value of ui.textScaleFactor is NOT 100, then double-click the preference to display an editing field, and change the value to 100 then press Enter or click the blue check mark button to save the change.
Hi Nigel, Would you be able to provide the URL of the page you're referring to, so we can test it?
What kind of display do you have and what dimensions (Retina/HiDPI) ?
You can also look at this pref on the about:config page.
- about:config => browser.display.os-zoom-behavior
