Word Wrap not working on Web page(s)
Hello Folks,
On certain web pages, using Fire Fox; the text runs off the page. I have to use the scroll button to read each line.
Shrinking the page by using Crt - (minus sign) does not solve the problem.
Going into all the toolbar options, and cannot find the command or toggle "Word Wrap".
I have even used the "Select All" option hoping to find a way to wrap the text. No luck there.
Thanks for your help.

Do you mean that this happens horizontally?
Can you attach a screenshot and possibly post a link?

- Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
- Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB
If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.
I have the same problem. Sometimes the page just won't fit the screen <ctrl><-> and <ctrl><0> shrink the text but the text won't re-wrap and pictures just will not fit the screen
What are the screen dimensions or the Firefox window dimensions if Firefox isn't maximized?
Some pages need a rather wide screen/window (over 1400px) to display without a horizontal scroll bar.
I'm talking about when Firefox is maximized
You can set the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref on the about:config page to 1.0 If necessary adjust layout.css.devPixelsPerPx starting from 1.0 in 0.1 or 0.05 steps (1.1 or 0.9) to make icons look acceptable.

Use an extension to adjust the text size in the user interface and the page zoom in the browser window.
You can look at some extensions to adjust the font size for the user interface and on web pages.

layout.css.devPixelsPerPx was set to -1 so I changed it to 1 and it seems better, but there are still pages that don't fit horizontally.
