See the Reviews section here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox&hl=en 'word-break: break-all' allows lines to be broken between any two characters [1], and that's exactly what happens in Gecko, making reviews more difficult to read. I assume WebKit handles this style differently since Chrome does not have this problem. I think the correct style to use here would instead be 'word-wrap: break-word', which breaks characters only when necessary. [1] http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_word-break.asp
See bug 959735 for discussion of this for Wired. Likely TE.
Can't reproduce this anymore, and the break-all-rule is nowhere to be found.
Seems like this isn't valid anymore, but moving to the correct component.
