Both the Texts and Graphics When I open windows are too large and blurry. Is this anyway I could fix this?
When I open Firefox (Firefox is updated to its latest version) both the text and the graphics are too large. I've tried zooming in and out features, but the texts become unreadable.

CTRL+0 (<--that is a zero) will reset your zoom level on affected pages. Firefox remembers the zoom level you last used on a page.
See Firefox built-in Zoom functions:
If that does not fix the problem, you can try renaming the file (with Firefox closed; Firefox button > Exit or File > Exit) content-prefs.sqlite to content-prefs.sqlite.old (or delete the file) in the Profile Folder to reset the page zoom on all sites. That file will be re-created when you restart Firefox.

- You can use the following to go to the Firefox profile folder:

Not related to your question, but...
You may need to update some plug-ins. Check your plug-ins and update as necessary:

Is only the browser (web page) part affected or the user interface as well?
Did you make changes to the DPI settings in Windows XP?
Hi Cor-el,
The browser and the user interface are affected as well, but I didn't make any changes to the DPI settings in Windows. The DPI settings are saying that they are Normal size. I recently had to use System recovery on my computer, so maybe this has something to do with it.
You can enable ClearType system wide for all programs to make other programs like Firefox use it.
