Somehow, without anyone doing anything to my computer (to my knowledge), the size of everything increased. Everything still fits on my monitor screen, but font that was size 10 is now, say, size 14. And previously, I could have ten tabs open without it having to scroll over. Now I can only have four. Does this sound like a problem anyone knows how to fix?

Sounds like the screen area--800 x 600, 1024 x 768, etc--has been reduced. Check display properties.

You may have to reinstall your video drivers.
