I think only with appropriate hyphenation you can use justified text on
webpages, especially in languages as German. Missing hyphenation
sometimes results in catastrophic word spaces. More information about
hyphenation and an English test paragraph on
http://blog.fontdeck.com/post/9037028497/hyphens (doesn’t work in my
Canonical build).

Meanwhile I found another hyphenation test page for English →
http://meyerweb.com/eric/css/tests/css3/show.php?p=hyphens – the third
paragraph should be hyphenated. But there both my friends Windows
Firefox 8.0 and my own one fail.

Maybe this is because on Eric Meyers page there are no vendor prefixes
like moz-hyphens? Does Canonical’s FF support them? If not, my problem
is for now insolvable.

** Summary changed:

- No hyphenation in Firefox 8.0
+ No support for moz-hyphens in Firefox 8.0 (Canonical)

Title:
  No support for moz-hyphens in Firefox 8.0 (Canonical)

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The page http://www.belleslettres.eu/blog/firefox-silbentrennung.php
  provides a test field for German hyphenation in Firefox 8.0
  (build1-0ubuntu0.11.10.3). On my friend’s Windows PC the hyphenation
  works, but it didn’t work on my Ubuntu Laptop (11.10 Oneiric)– there
  simply wasn’t any hyphenated word. I tested with a new profile without
  addons etc.

  I have filed this bug at
  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=704885 too, but there was
  somebody who got hyphenation with the Mozilla build for Linux x86_64
  (also my system). He reasoned the missing hyphenation is caused by the
  Canonical build.

  By the way: Does somebody know a testpage for English hyphenation?
