why is every web page only on the right side of my screen?

Every time I open fire fox browser web sights only appear on the right side of my screen. I am using a flat screen tv as my screen so there´s plenty of room. All text etc on the right is cut off and on the left side there is a third of the screen blank.

Do you have the side bar open (View > Sidebar)?

Hi, thanks for the help. No I don´t use the sidebar. I tried the reset it helped a bit but a lot is still cut off. Maybe fire fox is just not the browser for me.

The same problem happened to me a couple of years ago and it was caused by one of the Themes I have installed. You might want to troubleshoot your Themes and Extensions to see if one of them causing this problem:
