One slightly hackish way of doing this is by processing the text to add space between each letter. Replace spaces with Then use the letter-spacing css attribute to bring the spaces down.
I know, it's a hack... but if NOTHING else works, it should wrap without problem.
I think this is a long standing issue in Firefox, that harks back to Mozilla and Netscape. I'll bet you were having the issue with the display of long URLs. I think it is an issue with the rendering engine rather than something you can fix with CSS, without some ugly hacks.
Sometimes, what happens is that, our client wants us to give '-' after word break to end of line.
Like
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBB
break to
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
BBBBBBBBB
So, there is new CSS property if supported, usually supported in latest browsers.
.dont-break-out {
/* These are technically the same, but use both */
overflow-wrap: break-word;
word-wrap: break-word;
-ms-word-break: break-all;
/* This is the dangerous one in WebKit, as it breaks things wherever */
word-break: break-all;
/* Instead use this non-standard one: */
word-break: break-word;
/* Adds a hyphen where the word breaks, if supported (No Blink) */
-ms-hyphens: auto;
-moz-hyphens: auto;
-webkit-hyphens: auto;
hyphens: auto;
}
