I use the deveooper's edition of FF (like the debugger FYI) but i've got a problem now.

since the upgrade today, text areas in some of the forums I visit no longer have wordwrap in them. I checked the settings and can't find them. I also searched the about:config and didn't get anywhere. I saw two var there.

plain_text_wrap_long_lines (is set to true) view_source_wrap_long_lines (is set to true).

Anyone got a hint?

You can right-click that text area and open the Inspector to see if there is such a wrap rule present and if not add it and possibly use the userContent.css file to define such a rule. 

@-moz-document domain(<domain>){ textarea { white-space:pre-wrap!important; word-wrap:break-word!important; } }

Thanks, ironically it resolved itself, it must have been just a glitch although i will say, i did inspect it. that was the first thing I thought of, and it was there.

i refreshed, cleared the cache and nothing worked. But for some reason now it's gone. So i'm good to go :P
