I have tried viewing the yahoo homepage on several machines here using

looking for an updated display driver.



Good thought but I use two other laptops that are *not* wide screen and the
results are the same. Hold on ... I am going to try something.

Ok. I opened both Firefox and Internet Explorer and went to a number of
websites using both. Internet Explorer displays *all* the sites in a full
screen view. Firefox displayed some full screen and some in the narrower,
compact style that it initially displays the Yahoo homepage.

So, it must be a subtle difference in how they each interpret certain
aspects of the html code.
