Summary
Sites such as Wikipedia insist on using the full width of the screen. For many of us, this means it renders the page much too wide to be comfortably readable. This add-on adds a contextual (right-click) menu which allows you to toggle the width of the current page. By default, the new width will be 960px. You can adjust this in preferences. Although designed to work with Wikipedia and its cousins, it will also work with many other pages designed a long time ago, before wide screens became fashionable.
Safety
Risk impact
Too Wide! requires a number of risky permissions that can potentially harm your browser and steal your data. Exercise caution when installing this add-on. Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install Too Wide! if you trust the publisher.
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypass your security settings, and access your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.
Risk likelihood
Too Wide! is probably trust-worthy. Prefer other publishers if available. Exercise caution when installing this add-on.
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Browser Add-ons, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on, especially ones with higher risk impact and/or higher risk likelihood.
