Firefox – Make Text/Plain Files Word-Wrap

firefox

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 see Content-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

Best Answer

The Toggle Word Wrap Firefox extension might work for you.
