How can I make Firefox word-wrap text/plain files?
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
Solution 1:
The Toggle Word Wrap Firefox extension might work for you.
Solution 2:
FF 31. Open a new tab.
Enter about:config
in the Awesome Bar.
Search for view_source.wrap_long_lines
and set value to true
.
Solution 3:
If you just need to wrap plaintext files, try Ctrl-U (then View -> Wrap Long Lines, if not already checked). This solution is cleaner than an add-in with plaintext files, but sloppier with text embedded in html.
