How do I set Firefox v. 3.6.13 to automatically change paramenter so that I can see the entire width of a webpage?

Many websites are wider than the screen. I have to use a scrollbar to move right and left to view the page. I've used Firefox forever and never had this problem until recently

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

If you increased the minimum font size then try the default setting 'none' as a high value can cause issues like you described.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

If you need to increase (or decrease) the font size on websites then look at the NoSquint or Default FullZoom Level extension.

Thanks for your help.

OK.

On this very webpage, I can see everything on the screen. When I open my bookmarks, on the left of the screen, the screen does not compress, but rather moves the screen image to the right the width of my bookmark menu, and a scroll bar appears on the bottom.

This didn't used to happen.

<view><zoom><reset> has no effect.

I do have a default font type and size set, but my "Minimum Font Size" IS set to "none," and the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts . . ." IS checked.

Before I use an add-on, I thought I should add this additional clarification. This must be something FireFox can handle.

Firefox doesn't resize the browser window if you open the Bookmarks or History in the sidebar.
You would have to zoom out (Ctrl -) to make the page fit if you get a scroll bar in that case.
