A couple weeks ago I noticed that the screen inside my Firefox web browser was all stretched out. Everything appeared proportional, but the images and text all had a slight blur to them, as though they had suddenly been stretched out and/or pixelated. I searched around the Internet to find people who were having the same problem, but was unable to figure out what was going on. After nearly an hour of searching and trying different things, I finally realized that I had simply zoomed in using Firefox’s Zoom In feature… and the solution to my problem was as simple as zooming out.

Here is what my screen looked like when it was all stretched out:

And here is what my screen looks like now (at the correct zoom level):

It’s a bit difficult to tell the difference between these two images (as they have been shrunken down here for design purposed) but the difference on my wide-screen monitor was both noticeable and annoying.

If you are having the same problem and the images/text on your screen appear to be larger than normal and a little bit fuzzy, here is what you need to do in order to fix the problem:

1. Go up to the menu inside Firefox and click on “View”

2. Then scroll down to “Zoom”

3. Then press “Zoom Out”

The shortcut for zooming out is “Ctrl + -”. The shortcut for zooming in is “Ctrl + +”. And if you want to reset your zoom back to normal, the shortcut for that is “Ctrl + 0″
