Not really a problem but whenever I go to
my Administrator Account and then return
to my User Account the pages have been
resized smaller and I have to adjust them.
This continues for several days, In fact I'm
still resizing the pages.

This always seems to happen if I go into the
Admin Account. I was just wondering why it
does it?

Thanks,
Robert

Is the admin account using the same Firefox profile
as the non-admin account ?

You can try looking for "profiles.ini" and there would
be such, for Thunderbird, Seamonkey, Firefox, as
well as for Administrator and Non-Administrator accounts.

Since my tools normally start un-elevated, just the
regular profiles.ini exist.

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\SeaMonkey\profiles.ini

C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\profiles.ini

My "username" belongs to the Administrator group, but
the elevation is not needed to run those three tools.

I do not have the actual Administrator account ("real Administrator) enabled. If I did have that account enabled, then the path to the profiles to
that account, would have to reflect it is the Administrator account.

I set Win10 up in a VM (already prepared for this sort of thing), and
this is what running Firefox as Administrator is using. It uses a profile folder in the Profiles next to the profile.ini file.

C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\profiles.ini

Now, if you have modified the thing somehow, to share the same Profiles
folder (which you can do with some effort), then such a configuration
might have side effects as described. It's possible the cookies.dqlite file could store scale settings for web pages.

I checked and the profiles are different. I
don't remember making any changes.

I have the same profile as you except in
both accounts after \profiles\ I have a series of
numbers/letters then . default or default-release

I could show them to you but its probably
not a good idea to show my profile unless
you think it's OK?

btw I had to resize again after I checked the
Admin profile.

If the profiles are different, I don't have any
suggestions to make as to why this is happening.

I seem to remember, a long time ago, some scale info
was in the cookies, but I checked several sqlite files
and can't find any mention of scale. Only a few JPG image
file references, have a scale factor recorded with the URL,
and that's not sufficient to be changing every web page.

I don't know where that is hiding now.

It's OK, I just thought I would ask.

I checked the 780 and it doesn't do it only the
8500.

In any case, it doesn't affect the performance
of the computer.

Another odd thing that's happened is that
in Outlook I can no longer just paste text in.

Now I have to select paste and then do a
control V for the text to appear.

These are all just small things but I thought I
would mention them.

I still run scans and do the monthly mrimgs.

Thanks,
Robert
