Chosen solution

That is caused by a missing white-space:pre-wrap; CSS rule.

Add code to the userContent.css file in the chrome folder

The customization files userChrome.css (interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the chrome folder in the user profile folder.

Your answer helped me, but it is a temporary solution. I hope browser update would be released soon.

Firefox uses white-space: pre !important; by default and doesn't wrap long lines and this won't change via an update update. You need to use the correct CSS rules to make Firefox display the code properly.

The post used a <pre> tag for that text. So it is displaying as specified. The problem is, it was a bad idea to use a <pre> tag in that post. But probably in most situations where someone uses a <pre> tag you would want the classic monospaced display. So it's hard to change Firefox to make exceptions in just the right cases.

I have not used a pre tag for that text. It was made without my participation. I simply pasted text with problem description and posted it.

PRE means pre-formatted text and you add the line breaks yourself.
PRE is usually used to display tables where the columns are separated by multiple spaces that you do not want to wrap.

So in your case you either have to wrap the long text (white-space: pre-wrap) or add a scroll bar (overflow-x: scroll) to make it possible to see all the text.

I looked at the next 10 threads on that board, and none of them have the <pre> tag. I think it could have come from whatever program/editor you used to compose the description.
