Looks like lines that exceed the container width aren't broken on a word boundary... To my eyes it's kinda evident and I just noticed it (using Firefox for Android ATM BTW), so must be due a recent tweak in the code.
Probably just some CSS rule to revert, I expect.
 
Yeah, it was added as a fallback for browsers that don't support proper word breaking. How old is your Firefox version? It should work fine, does for me.
 
(There were some wrong ideas...)

Try "word-wrap: break-word" instead of "word-break: break-all" it only breaks long words that don't fit into container and I think it's what's requred here.

Firefox for Android 66.0.5, the version before the very latest one (Play Store says released on May 17). On Firefox 67.0 for desktop is working for me too.
At the moment I cannot update my tablet (wi-fi only, must be on home network), in a couple of hours I'll try and report back.
 
Yup, after updating to 67.0 it's working also in Firefox mobile. Must've been a quirk of the 66.0.5 version, sorry for the false alarm orz
 
I have this issue with Firefox 66.0.3 on the desktop.

Edit: Upgraded to 66.0.5, still happening.

Edit: Upgraded to 67.0, and it's finally fixed.
 
Dang, is break-word really that new? I didn't even check.

Might have to reconsider using it. The main reason I went with the easy route here instead of making some more robust changes is because these damn forums have been written with table elements which really isn't making it easy to control with css.
 
Nobody cares, but:
MS Edge on 1809: doesn't work.

I'm still waiting for 1903. Will write back once it's done. Knowing Microsoft, that could be 2 months from now, and I'm definitely not going to put in the extra effort to get the update early. Not after 1809 wiped out all my document, pictures, videos, music, etc.

Edit:
1903, still doesn't work on Edge.
 
Well,
Code:
break-word
is still in but the
Code:
break-all
fallback is now removed. Browsers that don't support
Code:
break-word
return to not properly breaking very long words, but I suppose it's better that way.
