OK this might sound SUPER stupid to some of you BUT I am clueless on this one.

I left to go eat dinner and when I came back my screen had SUPER small letters on firefox and I cannot figure out how to make it bigger, in fact the resolution of the screen SUCKS right now. I looked on control panel already and went to medium icons but thats not it.

PLEASE help, !!

Is there any control or shift deal to turn this thing bigger ??????? I need glasses just to see this small specially on FB its TINNY letters

I suggest you look at the resolution settings for your video card first... Sounds like something may need a new driver or it's about to crap out on you.

Does the rest of your computer have this tiny font size? Is your desktop the same size or smaller? What about some other application? If it's just your browser and not anything else then your computer's graphics setting haven't changed. I see a notice from firefox that an upgrade is imminent..maybe yours changed as well?
