You presumably have the Windows display scaling option set to something larger than 100%.[1] Firefox now respects that setting, which it previously (largely) ignored, so in that case things will indeed be displayed larger than before.

If you reset the scaling option to 100%, pages displayed in Firefox (along with everything else - this is supposed to be a system-wide option in Windows) will be smaller again.

(To avoid graphics becoming "fuzzy" when scaled up, the web site would need to provide higher-resolution versions of their graphics.)

I looked at the windows scaling as suggested, and you are correct that it was set to a higher number. I reset it to 100%, and now the video display seems correct, but the fonts are not completely displaying, and the font size in options does not help.
Is there a way I can go back to a previous version? This is an annoying issue, as it was working fine before the updates.
