My screen view is too wide, causing me to slide view bar constantly. I want the web page to fit correctly and keep my upper tool bars.

How do I set Firefox so that when I am viewing web pages, I do not constantly need to re-zoom the new page, or, use my bottom slide bar from side to side just so I can read the information I am looking for? 

  My preference would by the page to "JUST FIT"my screen. And of course, keep my work bars where they are at top and bottom.
 I am running Windows XP, I am using a "ASUS wide screen monitor. (A VS197 LCD)

Do you have the problem also when using "Full Screen" (toggle mode via F11)?

There are add-ons like Readability which reformat a page more thoroughly, but I don't know whether there is one which changes the page's width settings to fit within your window.

If most pages look right at a certain reduced zoom level, you can use an extension to set that as your standard zoom level.

For example:
