I have a 16x9 monitor how can I expand the text to fit this screen

more options

Because of a security flaw in Internet Explorer I have returned to your browser. However IE when you zoom it will expand to fit both sides of the screen. Yours is just making the page just get longer. That leaves a lot of blank area on both sides. This makes it harder to read for me.

You can modify the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and increase or decrease the value in 0.1 or 0.05 steps to adjust the size of fonts and other elements in Firefox.

The layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref is a String value parsed to a float and allows to fine tune the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) more precisely (resolution 0.1 or 0.05). You can use values between 0.05 and 1.0 to reduce elements in size or use values greater than 1.0 to magnify and make elements larger (percentage divided by DPI, % / DPI). If the web pages needs to be adjusted after changing this pref then you can look at Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint.
