If it's something happening only in Firefox, the most likely cause
seems to be "-moz-hyphens: auto" in the CSS somewhere, which tells
Firefox to auto-hyphenate.  (Alternatively, there might be
soft-hyphen characters in the text, but I *think* those are
supported in other browsers.)

Firefox doesn't (I think) auto-hyphenate without one of those things
telling it to do so.
