It was fixed with a backout and the nighty was updated to include the fix, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680862

Excellent! Thanks very much for posting the link and giving us a heads-up ;-)

I got a question. Is there an option to word wrap text on websites? Maybe an extension for it? I hate always having to scroll over when I'm zoomed into pages in order to read them more clearly. Especially from afar. Is there any browser that has a word wrap feature?

The 8/22 nightly is crashing Flash like crazy. Beware.

all the more reason to avoid nightly builds and stick to the more stable Aurora as your still 'almost' using the latest and greatest but with more stability.

i been on Aurora for probably a couple months or so now and it's good enough to use as a primary browser.

Create a bookmark and enter the following in it's location field...

javascript:(function(){function%20t(f){a=d.createNodeIterator(d,1,f,false);while(a.nextNode()){}}var%20d=document;t(function(e){x=e.offsetLeft;l=e.offsetParent;while(l!=null){x+=l.offsetLeft;l=l.offsetParent}var%20w=d.documentElement.clientWidth-x;var%20s=e.style;if(s.marginLeft)w-=s.marginLeft;if(s.marginRight)w-=s.marginRight;if(s.paddingLeft)w-=s.paddingLeft;if(s.paddingRight)w-=s.paddingRight;if(s.borderSize)w-=s.borderSize;w-=d.defaultView.innerWidth-d.documentElement.offsetWidth;if(e.tagName=='IMG'){h=e.clientHeight*w/e.clientWidth;s.maxHeight=h}s.maxWidth=w+'px'})})();

That's legit? Works on all sites? Where did you learn this?

You don't have a link to back-up your claim? This works in Aurora 8.0a2? Can someone try this and provide more confirmation?

Thanks if you can!

Just tried it, and it doesn't work at all. Thanks for trying. Mozilla, give us a word wrap option! If Notepad can do it, surely Firefox can! I did find this code, but it says it works for text files. That wouldn't count for websites like Neowin and stuff, right? I would need an html word wrapper if there is such a thing. Here is the code.

To word wrap text in text files displayed in Mozilla Firefox :

Locate the sub-folder called chrome in your profile folder. See http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/edit#profile on how to find where Mozilla Firefox stores the profile folder for different operating systems.

In this chrome subfolder, edit the text file ?userContent.css? with a text editor (such as Notepad). Typically, this file does not exist by default. There is a userContent-example.css in this chrome sub-folder which you can rename to userContent.css

Add the following line to userContent.css :

pre { white-space: -moz-pre-wrap !important; }

Save the file, and restart Firefox for the changes in userContent.css to take effect.

With this change, any text files you view in Mozilla Firefox will automatically be word-wrapped so that you don?t have to scroll left and right to read the text file.

Then someone posted: I just wanted to mention for people in the future that come here: the code as given won?t work for Firefox 3.5 or later, since -moz-pre-wrap was deprecated. Instead, replace that with pre-wrap in those versions.

I'm guessing this has to do with html coding for someone making a website. That's not what I want. I just want a simple word wrap feature in the browser when viewing sites that I have zoomed in at like 300%, cause I'm viewing it from far away. Any ideas?

Works for me.

And if you'd googled it, you would probably come across the same place I found it. LINK

I just found this. Would this work with Aurora? Wrap pre on any page with Mozilla userContent.css

Edit $HOME/.mozilla/default/*.slt/chrome/userContent.css in your favourite editor. The file does not exist by default, you have to create it. Add

pre {

white-space: -moz-pre-wrap !important; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */

I have been. Thanks. I think your links were very helpful. Especially since it more clearly explained what you originally told me about the bookmark trick.

Why not use text zooming?

Or a combination of page zooming and text zooming which an extension like NoSquint makes easier to do.

I have NoSquint. How do I make mine do what you showed? I have my zoom set to like 290 or 300 sometimes when I'm trying to view pages from afar, but it always has the scroll bar. My text zoom is usually set to 100. What are optimal settings?

For Neowin and my resolution of 1280x1024, I have page zoom set at 120%. Anything after that causes scroll bar to appear. The text zoom can be whatever you want, as it will never cause the scroll bar to appear.

My resolution is 1920x1200. What is a good setting to zoom in and not screw up the layout of the page? Plus, it has to be seen from afar.
