Yes, almost all fixed. The links are now all on the left at the
window size I was using - Next, where provided¹, is on the right if I
maximize. And if I reduce the window height the jigsaw-puzzle
penguin disappears and the ^ [Home] < > close up so that part is
fine.
But from glibc in chapter 6 the last line of the Next link is still
feint - I have '>', 'Next' in green, 'Adjusting the' lighter than I
would like but not a problem for the link, 'Toolchain' feint and it
would be hard to read if I didn't know what it said.
I can live with this in LFS but for BLFS I would prefer the links to
be bolder if they split lines. I also wonder how *long* Prev/Next
BLFS links such as 'reiserfsprogs-3.6.24', or 'About Logical Volume
Management (LVM)' will be handled ?
Also (for BLFS), some of our initial paragraphs might make the
(narrow) box containing the introductory comments for a package
rather long. Finally, when the links are all on the left I have a
similar amount of empty space on the right.
My current firefox window is about 31.5cm wide inside the borders
and scroll bar. In current BLFS package pages, any headings are
0.8cm in from the left, and text / commands / kernel config options
have a 1.5cm margin on each side.
In the same window with new-style LFS everything in the text has
5.2cm margins (2 inches) on each side, and the left margin is used
for navigation but the right margin is empty. If I temporarily make
it full screen, the text portion maxes out at about 21cm wide, with
margins just over 7cm wide. For LFS, the waste of space is not a
problem - but for BLFS it will be vey annoying. At least I have my
screens' brightnesses adjusted so that all the white does not dazzle
me ;-)

[1.] I had not realised that 'Next' from the LFS index page only
goes forward.
I changed my mind, after Ken's posts.
Perhaps what you are saying, Ken, is:
{{{
We are very happy with the books now.
We don't understand the necessity for modifications.
}}}
I can see some benefits to the change - on my netbook it looks good
and has a small margin on the right of the page (with all navigation
on the right). But on my desktop it still wastes space at the right
in any wide window, and seems to have a hardcoded maximum usable
line length. So no, that was not what I'm saying.
As Ken wrote, I read it perfectly in my tablet, netbook, notebook and
desktop.
For LFS it now looks ok. But for BLFS I have raised questions,
quite apart from the waste of space in right margins in wide
windows.
I agree that at some window sizes the right margin is too big. I'm sure
there is a way to force the icons to always be on the left (or right if
that is preferable).
The really nice thing from my perspective is that the links do not
scroll with the text. They are always visible.
