How do I shrink the font on my home page?

Question

I don't know why but suddenly everything is real big and I have to scroll across to read a page. I also "lost" my clock and start button at the bottom of the screen! They only appear if I put my cursor at the very bottom of my screen.

Not sure if I understand what you're asking but try this to change the text size.

Go to>>>>>'view'>>>>>'text size'>>>>>click on the size you want.  

Can't answer the last question.  Sorry/
