Hi there Roger34953,
From what we can tell, you're unable to adjust the size of windows in Safari on your MacBook Air. We're glad you've joined us in Apple Support Communities, and we can help.
"Most windows can be manually resized. Drag the window’s edge (top, bottom, or sides) or double-click an edge to expand that side of the window." With that said, it's possible that the window you're accessing can't be manually resized. Have a look at this link to learn more:
Next, does this happen with all windows in Safari or only on specific pages or websites? Try clearing your Safari history, closing the app, and restarting your Mac to see if that helps. Learn how here:
Clear your browsing history in Safari on Mac
Log out, sleep, wake, restart, or shut down your Mac
If you're still not able to change the size of windows in Safari after giving those steps a try, you'll want to make sure you’re using the latest versions of Safari and macOS. To check for a Safari or a macOS update, choose Apple menu () > App Store, then click Updates. This link provides details about updating your Mac:
We hope this information is helpful. Don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.
