I see others noting this problem beginning in March 2015, but no solutions.

Just updated to 39.0, still the problem.

No word wrap within a text posting box on a website, instead the sentence just continues scrolling horizontally.

Apparently Firefox began doing this with 36.0.1.

Was hoping it would be fixed in the newest version, but no.


A search found this post with an illustration of the problem, in case anything is unclear:

How could this not have been fixed between March and July?

How do I get word wrap within a text box?

Thanks.

The textbox calculates a max width. It wraps for me on this site.

There are some creative css available that changes this:

Current releases (36+) support the white-space property for a text area and it is possible that the website uses white-space: pre instead of white-space: pre-wrap. The former will prevent Firefox from wrapping the text.

You can check that in the Inspector via the right-click context menu.

See:

The white-space property is now working on <textarea> HTML elements (bug 82711).
