More and more often, when I try to browse auction lots, I get a tall, strung-out display (as shown below) that's impossible to read. Does anyone else have this problem? How to fix?

LOL LOL What zoom? Do not remember any Zoom! Where's the control and I will adjust it or turn it off or something.

==============
By the way, I just opened ebay, this morning it is not doing it. It's very random, which made me think the problem's at ebay, not in my computer?

You don't [ctrl][+] and [ctrl][-] to make text larger or smaller, do you?

In FireFox, the zoom function is under the View menu.

The zoom is normally at the bottom right corner of your computer - usually expressed as a percentage. If you look at one website at a higer percentage sometimes it will also causes other websites to be displayed at the higher zoom. The zoom feature in the corner has a small pull down menu that will allow you to change the zoom as needed. At least that's how it works on my computer.

Once in a while, I use the Control functions, but I always "reset" to default. Besides, for instance, SCF is not affected like the screen shot of ebay was. Nor is Excel or Word.

ebay is also making changes to accommodate html5 and mobile. I've noticed some issues that clear up later. Make sure your Java is up to date as well.

ebay has completely abandoned optimizing for 1024 x 768 as have a lot of major sites. That screenshot looks even smaller than that.

For instant zoom and reverse you can hold down CTRL and use the mouse wheel.
