I posted this a few days ago, along with another question.  I never
got any
response to this part of the message.

Is there any addon for this?
I much prefer Firefox over Opera, but this scrolling from left to
right is really
getting on my nerves.

Original question.......

I just installed Opera for the first time since I
abandoned it about 5 years ago.  I will have to admit that Opera is
greatly improved since the last time I used it.  Yet, given the
choice, I still prefer Firefox over both Opera and IE.  With one
exception.  Opera has a feature to "Fit the Width" on web pages.  I
really wish Firefox had that.  I dont have the best eyesight, so my
highest resolution I use on my monitor is 800x600.  The problem is
that many websites are larger these days, and if anything drives me
bonkers, it's having to scroll the page from left to right to read the
text.  Is there any sort of addon for Firefox to do this same thing?
