When I view this IRC log in Firefox, long lines do not wrap. But I wish they would! Anyone know how to make Firefox word-wrap text/plain files?
- this file is served as gzipped plain text; try
HEAD http://ci.mifos.org/irclogs/%23mifos/archive/2010/2010-01-04.log.gz
and you should seeContent-Type: text/plain
- when the same resource is viewed in Google Chrome, long lines wrap
- this might be a related question on doctype, but the "accepted answer" contains a broken link
- this didn't work for me (even the alternate version using
pre-wrap
as opposed to-moz-pre-wrap
mentioned in a comment by user "Idran") - using "View → Page Source", then toggling word wrap is a suitable workaround
Adding an extension is not necessary. See answer below on making a simple change in
about:config

I did that too. That is, dismissed the add-on because it focused on PRE tags. Thanks Dan! – nperson325681 – 2010-11-27T15:18:52.737
