Window width hard limit in Opera and Firefox? -

okay... hey guys, hope can help me solve one, or maybe able provide comprehensible reasoning following.

the newer versions of opera , firefox browser forcing reduced available width onto websites. assume that's in order fit content improve (with less unused space).

however, if website's content exceeds width of 1536 px (and screen resolution 1920 px in width), available width still capped @ 1536 (a horizontal scrollbar appears).

i've prepared demo well: http://r00t.li/test/opera_fittowidth_fckup.html

so think it's nice feature of browsers fit website content available width improves readability, on earth can if want/need utilize total screen width?

i've toyed around different meta tag viewport settings, hadn't have effect. guess that's mobile devices only.

ok, after more searching found culprit: dpi setting of windows affects how these browsers display websites. instance dpi of 125%, opera , firefox browser seek apply not ui, websites rendering content bigger (even though website zoom in browser set 100%), decreasing available pixel width.

as web designer, 1 has apparently absolutely no command on this. , if user takes time alter windows dpi 100%, it's not acceptable solution. granted, websites normal again, font-size of windows ui tiny - hard read.

but don't want become rant, again; solution alter windows dpi setting 100%. can done this:

right click on desktop , select screen resolution click on "make text , other items larger , smaller" choose 100% , save settings

very sad browser developers made decision... if 100 milliseconds takes user hold ctrl , tick mouse wheel 1 or 2 times much.
