User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

The HTML 4.01 allows the use of soft hypen
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/text.html#h-9.3.3) represented by the
character entity reference ­ (­ or ­).
This character doesn't seem to be managed by Firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go on a page with a very long word which contains soft hyphen.
2. Reduce the width of the window
3.

Actual Results:  
The word is displayed in only one line and the hypens are not displayed.

Expected Results:  
Browsers that interpret soft hyphens must observe the following semantics: If a
line is broken at a soft hyphen, a hyphen character must be displayed at the end
of the first line. If a line is not broken at a soft hyphen, the user agent must
not display a hyphen character. For operations such as searching and sorting,
the soft hyphen should always be ignored.
