Firefox 3.5 has implemented the word-wrap:break-word CSS property.  As described here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/Word-wrap

However, this does not seem to work within XUL.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
<vbox style="max-width:150px; background:gold; word-wrap:break-word;">
	http://thisIsAVeryLongUrlThatShouldBreakWithWordWrapBreakWordButDoesNot.com/
		
</vbox>
Actual Results:  
The url remains on one line, running outside of the desired 150px max-width.

Expected Results:  
It should break the url so that the vbox stays at a max of 150px
I've repro'd the above in 3.6.3.  break-word also does not work on a <td> element.
Severity: normal → S3
