How do I get Firefox to automatically size web pages?

Seems to me one of the features of html is that it's the browser's job to resize the page to the current window, if possible. New Win8.1 machine, newly installed Firefox, doesn't seem to do that (consistently, if at all.) Any option to do this?

O.P.: I should point out there's a BIG difference between "zooming" to fit, and "sizing" to fit. A browser can and should adjust spacing between elements, and even re-arrange elements, to get the page to fit, if possible. Sometimes it's not possible, because the page has specified the formatting. In my case, it seems like FF '''never''' gets it right. Even this very page has the scroll bar at the bottom, which should be completely unnecessary.

Every time Firefox opened

Firefox can have multiple home pages if you wish. Each home page that will open when starting Firefox is separated by the "|" character.

How can I get a list of open web pages in Firefox (in Linux)?

I would like to know how to get a list of open web pages in Firefox (in Linux), because I have a shortcut to open a web page and I want to get it to see if Firefox has the page open first so that it doesn't open duplicates.

You see the "List All Tabs" button in current Firefox versions if there are that many tabs open that you get the Tab bar scroll buttons appearing.
Add code to the userChrome.css file below the default @namespace line.

The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder.

How to automatically size web pages for 27 inch i-mac

I am trying to get my new 27 inch I mac to size web pages to be the same size as screen. Currently, only the middle section of screen does web pages appear.

Look in the View menu for Safari. The last item in that menu should be "Enter Full Screen", keyboard shortcut Command-Control-F. Give that a try.

How can I get Firefox to automatically recognize and connect a hyperlink in my messages?

When I used Internet Explorer (previously), it automatically identified web sites and email addresses that I entered in my outgoing messages and made them "live." Does Firefox have that capability? If so, how do I activate it?

Thank you. I do know about the button, and have used it. But Internet Explorer created the links automatically - I guess it "recognized" the configuration (perhaps the "www."?) and entered the link as soon as a space was placed after the URL. I was hoping Firefox could do the same thing, but apparently not. If anyone else has further ideas, I'd still like to hear if an automatic hyperlink creation is possible.

Put a shortcut to Firefox in your Windows Startup folder?

When forwarding an email, and highlighting my contact, how can I get Firefox to automatically put the contact in the "To" box? I have AOL.

How do I get Firefox to open my home page whenever I open a new tab?

I have Google as my home page. Rather than opening a new tab and getting a blank page, I'd like to open a new tab and get Google coming up. I'm fairly certain that this was possible in old Firefox, and would like to know if it is still possible and if so how!?! Thanks!

How do I get Firefox to support 32 bit page?

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and now have trouble with Firefox, saying I need to open in 32 bit page. Don't know how to do that. Also won't open PDF files. May change to different browser.

Firefox for Mac is now 64 bit. What do you mean, a 32 bit page? The code on web pages has nothing to do with what CPU you have.
If you cannot get Firefox to handle PDF files on its own, you can have it use a helper application instead. Preview can open PDF files.

How do I stop Firefox from creating untitled web pages when I try to send email from a web page. The only way I have found is to turn the computor off and then reboot. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer

Every time I click on a web site that has an email option the browser starts making untitled web pages and never stops unless I turn the computer off. It is very frustrating to not be able to use an email option when offered by a web site. The only way I can send email messages on the Firefox browser is to go into my hotmail acct. and copy and paste the addresses. I don't have this problem when I use the Internet Explorer browser.

I'm on a school network where I'm incapable of update flash, how to I get Firefox to automatically play flash content without updating?

Flash player is automatically block on sites like Youtube, and I have to click to play videos. While working at school, this is profoundly irritating, and I have no permissions to update flash shockwave. How do I disable the "click to play" so that I can automatically listen to youtube playlists, etc.
Updating Flash is NOT an option.

I don't know if you can bypass that old version warning; there might be a way.
But I want to know why your Firefox is reporting itself as version 20. Is that also because you are not allowed to update Firefox either? Maybe you can pass along to your administration that Firefox 20 is not secure; Mozilla discloses [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html security flaws] after each new release.

How do I get Firefox to automatically fill in personal details on forms?
