332445 - Page width handling problems

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 99457

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Fox2]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

A large number of pages just don't seem to render properly to take account of the actual FF windows width, leaving significant horizontal text off-screen right.

Examples:
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=45990&postdays=0&postorder=asc&postsperpage=15&start=165
renders offscreen, as do wikipedia DIFF pages.

But the following page in the forum 
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=45990&postdays=0&postorder=asc&postsperpage=15&start=180
renders within screen width.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
Web pages are rendered either:
1) with some elements being allowed to force the width wider than they should, or
2) not always taking account of FF program window width.

Expected Results:  
Pages should render within visible area, with fewer exceptions. Compare to Opera which handles this function well.

This must have been reported before, I can't imagine not, but I can't find a bug report for the fault. Feel free to mark as duplicate if one exists.

Additional informatiojn - using vertical tabbar; shouldn't be relevant but might be.

The MR Tech Link Wrapper extension seems to work. I don't know if it has side effects.
There is also a bookmarklet available on the internet for that function.
