As an edit to this page, I haven't had to use this Wrap code since about Firefox 2.0.0.1. I'm not sure if this is because Firefox has this built in now or my favorite interacting sites have fixed it on their end.
Most likely if you're on this site you have been on computer help message boards before. I am on them frequently and there is one thing I hate about them. When someone posts a web address that is real long, longer than the allotted room, it makes the page wider to accommodate for that address and you have to use the horizontal scroll bar to see the page. I have a tip that doesn't eliminate that but with one click you can wrap the long web address into many lines just like word wrap in notepad. That way the page goes to the regular size. You may have noticed earlier in this site I pulled the bookmarks toolbar items up to the top toolbar, there were 3 things on it, Google, Dictionary and a bookmark called Wrap.



You can make a link on any bookmark

But I like to put it here for easier access

When a page is wide because of a long url on a forum I just click this bookmark and it goes back to normal, wrapping up the long address. Here's what you do, go to the bookmark manager and click the new bookmark button. Type anything you want for the name (I picked Wrap), then copy and paste the following text into the the location box. Then when you press ok you can move the bookmark to the bookmarks toolbar folder if you want it on the Bookmarks Toolbar or any other folder you want it in. Then whenever you get to a page like that just click the bookmark.

Heres the text
javascript:(function() { var D = document; F(D.body); function F(n) { var u, r, c, x; if (n.nodeType == 3) { u = n.data.search(/\S{45}/); if (u >= 0) { r = n.splitText(u + 45); n.parentNode.insertBefore(D.createElement('wbr'), r); } } else if ((n.tagName != 'STYLE') && (n.tagName != 'SCRIPT')) { for (c = 0; x = n.childNodes[c]; ++c) { F(x); } } } D.body.innerHTML += ' '; })();

Copy and past this code in the location box

Again I have to say I didn't make this code so I can't take credit for it. I also have to say I don't know how to program or even write html to make a webpage I did this site with an easy web program called Trellix that my ISP provided me. I'm not at all advanced at anything, I pick up all of these tricks from the message boards and help sites that have grown along with Firefox. I really did this site to make it easier for beginners because a lot of this information is spread out over many websites and beginners sometimes just don't know where to look. I figure if I can do this stuff anyone can. A BIG THANKS goes out to all the people who have ever or are presently working on Firefox as well as all the people who make extensions for it or do the other extras like the userContent.css or the code for wrapping long urls. It's all of those people coming together to work on bettering one thing that make Firefox so great. I also want to Thank those who work or have worked on Mozilla because without that there would be no Firefox.

If you have any suggestions for my site or questions.
