CSS Hyphenation Support

Hi Folks,

First let me say I love TenFourFox and appreciate all the hard work you put into it! I generally find it flawless for my limited use, but came across a minor issue when I recently added CSS hyphenation support to my site. Words are hyphenated automatically within TenFourFox, but there do not seem to be any rules at work! For example, the word 'poll' was hyphenated as 'pol-l'. It's possible my site doesn't give an explicit language attribute, or maybe the hyphenation support just isn't available yet, but thought I would let you know.

Thanks again!
Brandon

   Can you give me an example page to look at? Does it break the words correctly in regular Firefox? We need to figure out if this is Mozilla's bug or ours.

   If it's ours, I have a guess where the problem lies, but I want to see the actual code (a minimized test case would be even better).

   Unfortunately, I do not know if the bug is present in the most recently Mozilla release, though my CSS is targeted at -moz as well.

   Here is an example link:

   And my CSS:
   body p {

   -webkit-hyphens: auto;
   -moz-hyphens: auto;
   -ms-hyphens: auto;
   -o-hyphens: auto;
   hyphens: auto;
   

   }

   Brandon, so far I'm not able to demonstrate any substantial difference between the real Firefox and TenFourFox's hyphenation on your page or others. I think I'll need a specific test case of what's blowing up on your end.

   Also, just to make sure, you are using 17.0.1, correct?
