I have a 30" screen running at full resolution. When I maximise firefox window and start browsing, some sites look fine, but some sites look horrible. Take google search for example. The search bar and other buttons use the entire width of the monitor, but the search results are restricted to the left 30% of the screen. Why the search results shouldn't be centered is beyond me: http://i.imgur.com/BsXqgpW.png. Another example is pretty much any online forum, particularly ones that use vBulletin. The user posts fit to the entire width of the monitor. How am I meant to read this?: http://i.imgur.com/xLIQeyY.png

Is there a way to make all the webpages perpetually think that the width of my monitor is smaller than it actually is and get the pages to centered on the screen? Does firefox have such a function?

There is not much that you can do about this as this is caused by the way a web page is coded.
If a page sets a specific width for a column then the text will stay within this container.
It the website uses a width:auto setting or doesn't specify a width then the full width of the current window can be used.

A possibility is to zoom that page automatically with an extension, but that will increase the font size and dimensions of other elements and probably looks a lot worse width such a wide screen like you have.
Otherwise you would have to use code in userContent.css or Stylish to modify the appearance of the page to remove the width restriction.
