I am using firefox currently right as my browser. it has all the buttons and tabs on the top of the page. it has about 7 lines of display. from Mozilla firefox header, then the second line hate the browser box, then the third line occupies the Getting Started, Latest Deadlines buttons and etc. and below are other buttons . so those alone occupies 7 line of web page. they occupy a little more than one third of the monitor screen. and so i have to keep scrolling the webpage down to read what is on the middle and bottom of the webpage i am reading. it is quite annoying i think to have a not so big screen. i am using a crt monitor. the old big, bulky monitor. wish that i can buy a flat screen monitor which is much bigger than the one i am using in terms of monitor screen size. so that i can view almost of the webpage i am in.

so do you have small screen monitor right now. don't you find it annoying to use. it seems like a jurassic century to be in the small screen.

I have a 15" monitor and use Firefox as my internet browser but I don't have this problem. If the toolbars are annoying you you can remove some of the mut right clicking next to the toolbar. For example the one where there is "Getting Started" etc is the Bookmark toolbar, if you uncheck it, it will be gone. Also you can download different Themes from Mozilla website that may be less cluttering and with smaller icons.

It's for that very reason that I don't like to use my cell phone to read emails, look things up or just find maps. I can't stand having to scroll back and forth, up and down all the time!

I guess I'm fortunate enough to have a rather large flat-screen monitor, but I've had one like yours. I had it long after the flat-screen monitors came out because I couldn't afford one. Luckily, they've come way down in price. If they hadn't, I'd probably still be using one like you're using.

Make a "monitor fund" jar! That's how I bought a new computer. I put a jar next to the computer with a slit cut in the lid. Every time one of my kids used the computer, or when I did, we'd have to put 25 cents into the jar. It didn't exactly pay for a whole new computer, but it sure helped!

After that, I used the jar for the same reason, except it was to buy printer ink because my boys were always printing out things, and it seemed like I was buying printer ink every couple of weeks. They had to deposit 10 cents every time they printed out a page. I'd then take that money and buy new printer cartridges.
