Web browser screen resize

Anyone know of an add on or trick to make forums like this fit onto my screen without having to scroll right and left to read all the words? Currently running Firefox 3.6.12 and I have used the Ctrl + option to make the words bigger and easier to read.

This issue only used to happen when someone posted a really large picture in a thread, but it's happening more and more now even when there are no pictures in the thread.

I don't want to adjust my screen settings and make everything smaller, I don't want to use the zoom out feature and make the words smaller, and it's an issue I'm seeing in other places, not just FTE.

Anyone know of an add on to fix this? IE seems to have the same issue.

I'm surprised no one has come up with anything Chris. I can't figure out how to do what you're asking either but I thought I'd at least bump the thread to the top so maybe somebody will.

Using Opera or Firefox it has an option to "fit to width". Other than that, most of the time it's a programming issue or someone posting a pic too big.

I tired google first and downloaded a couple of the add-ons. They didn't work. All my reading said it may have something to do with html code of the websites. I thought html was used on all websites. It doesn't make sense they can't figure this out better or that someone hasn't created an add on or something to fix this.
