Will it "wrap" long hyperlinks?

Firefox is a great browser but it's spoilt by its failure to wrap long hyperlinks.

At present, especially when browsing using enlarged fonts, Firefox often widens the window to accommodate long hyperlinks, not wrapped.

The rest of the text on the web page then often flows to fit the wider window.

Reading web pages in such wide windows entails repeated awkward left-right scrolling.

On other web pages, long hyperlinks spread to become superimposed over other text.

I do hope that the Firefox designers have changed their rigid (mis)interpretation of web standards on the display of hyperlinks.
