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.

I'm sorry, it is... 

word-break: 

that you need. Maybe in combination with the others would work well.

Best,
Karl

If it's something happening only in Firefox, the most likely cause

David, yes, it is a WP site and i found the problem in the css and 
just took it out.  All's well now.


Thanks to Karl, too, word-break would have worked also, and i'm very 
happy to know about it.


best
Donna
