Some pages extend horizontally beyond the browser window.

IF browsing to http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1000204 (using a 1024x768 resolution), the page will extend beyond the right margin of the screen, making the reading of the article a pain in the ass.

I would really like to have the possibility to limit the web page to the window size, that is to break the long lines so that it does NOT overflow beyond the right window margin.

An alternative would be to zoom (THE PAGE, NOT the text), so that it fits to the widths of the window.

That would ease the reading of such pages significantly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. browse to http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1000204
2. use a window size like 1024x768
3. try to read the article
4. for every line of text, you need to scroll horizontally, which is a pain in the ass
Actual Results:  
web page overflows to the right of the window, so that every line of text extends beyond the right window margin

Expected Results:  
a.) option to BREAK long lines/ html elements that extend beyond right window margin

b.) ZOOM option: fit page to window width
