Webpages are not as wide as my 17" monitor. There is space on both sides. Explorer does not do this. Zooming in does not help. Is there a fix?

I installed firefox as I heard it is better than exployer. The problem is that the webpages are not as wide as my screen. They reach from top to bottom, but not to each side. I look at the same pages on exployer and they are "full screen". The zoom only makes the fonts larger. It does not make it fit the screen. I hope there is a fix.

This is windows 7.

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages:

I have a 17.6 inch monitor as well, but what really matters is the aspect ratio. Can you find your aspect ratio and give me a sample link so I can understand what you are talking about?

You are on windows 7? Right click on your desktop and click Screen Resolution from the drop-down menu. The window that comes up should have your screen resolution. (mine is 1600 x 900)

Are you using full page zoom?

Thanks for all the help. I downloaded the extension from the second post. It seems to have fixed my problem. Some pages still load in the "narrow" format, but I can zoom them out and they fill the whole page. Firefox seems to remember the zoomed version the next time that I load the page. Happy for now.

Thanks again.
