Note, that hyphenation *does* work with Firefox 10, but this is only
because Firefox is bundling its own hyphenation patterns in the omni.jar
and using those instead. This is pretty undesirable, as those increase
the package size quite considerably (and the same for Thunderbird too).

We really want to drop those and make this work properly with the
patterns provided by the openoffice.org-hyphenation, myspell-xx and
hyphen-xx packages

Title:
  Make hyphenation work with system hyphenation patterns

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “firefox” source package in Precise:
  Triaged

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?
