Firefox / NPN / Lenovo Issue?

Has anyone else noticed the following issue? It started for me two days ago. NPN appears at 200% view in Firefox browser and I cannot reduce the zoom factor even from the Control Panel in Windows 7. NPN views OK in Internet Explorer (except for color) and Safari on my Lenovo W701ds but not Firefox. Another aggravating thing is if I close the Firefox browser (only on the Lenovo machine) then reopen it, I need to log in again to NPN. These issues only happen in Firefox and on my Lenovo W701ds and not my work computer which is a Dell E6500 (where I also use Firefox and Windows 7) nor my iPad or iPhone. Just curious if anyone else has noticed this or has a route too a possible solution. Thanks for any suggestions.

Eva, I use Firefox and I'm on Win7 too. However, I've noticed no issues at all with either problem you've listed and their usage here at NPN. As far as the viewing size issue, if I understand your point exactly, I just hold the CTRL key down and use the + or - keys to scale upward in size or downward.Once I've set that size for the given site it remains no matter how many times I come and go or booting of the PC.
Not sure I'm helping or not but again no issues I've noticed at all with usage here at NPN or any other site with my Firefox which I think is now at release 17.... :confused:

Well Paul - Using the CTRL key down and minus key seemed to work to correct view size but not the inadvertent log out issue. Thanks. Eva

Eva,
For the logout issue, check your cookie settings in Firefox preferences. It might be set to delete cookies at the end of every session.

Eva, as Mark has suggested;
I found a setting that may pertain to the cookies.
