How can I get the pages to fit in the screen so I don't have to scroll sideways on every line?

more options

I'm using WindowsXP and I recently downloaded Firefox 3.6.8, and now almost everything I view has to be scrolled sideways to be read. I'm not particularly computer savvy, but I was able to figure it out on the other browsers I've used. I've tried a lot of things, nothing has worked, and I'm getting so frustrated that I'm considering going back to one of the other browsers, even though in every other I greatly prefer Firefox. Please help! Thanks.

Is the zoom set to 100% or smaller? (View menu, Zoom)

If you right-click the shortcut you use the start Firefox, then choose Properties and click the Compatibility tab, is anything checked there?
