In the previous version of Firefox that I had been using, I was able to zoom in on text on web pages and still read all the text without having to using the horizontal scroll bar. The text automatically reconfigured vertically to fit within my screen. Now, with the newest version of Firefox, text does not reconfigure after zooming, so that I must scroll to the side in order to read each paragraph. Is there a way to automatically reconfigure text vertically after zooming?

There is a difference between full page zoom and zoom text only.

If you zoom the full page then all elements are zoomed.
This is the preferred (default) setting.
If you disable full page zoom then only the text is zoomed, but this can cause issues when text doesn't fit a container with fixed dimensions that would otherwise be part of the zooming.
This can also happen if you set a higher minimum font size.

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
