As fas as I can remember they've always been that wide. Anyway, since
Gentoo uses [1] GuideXML [2] for their documentation which gets
transformed into HTML you won't be able to provide a fix if you don't
know what XSLT rules the converter uses for transformation.

Unfortunately Gentoo documentation uses table layout instead of
relying entirely on CSS. Therefore it is not easy to make the docs
beautiful for everybody right now. But there is a simple workaround
which you may find good enough. Add the following CSS rule into your 
~/.mozilla/<...your profile...>/chrome/userContent.css or install the
Stylish add-on [3] and create a style with the rule:

-------------------------------------------------------------
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("gentoo.org") {
  td.content p {
    width: 40em;
  }
}
-------------------------------------------------------------

Change "40em" to anything you like. 



Cheers,
Renat
