When i go to a text file with unix line endings, I get one long line on my display.
When i load some text files. I get one long line I'm pretty sure that whatever firefox is using to display text does not handle unix line endings. I suspect that if I change the viewer it is using the problem will go away. How might I do that?

You can use Notepad++ it is a tabbed editor though so be sure to save or close when finished or you might downgrade your actual files later on.
That file is send as text/html and not as text/plain, so white-space including line breaks gets rendered as in html and you would need <br> to get a new line.
Use View Page Source in such cases or prefix the link with the view-source: protocol.
- view-source:http://www.3dartist.com/WP/python/code/tkex1.py
- Firefox > Web Developer > Page Source
- Tools > Web Developer > Page Source (Ctrl+U)
- Right-click on a web page to open the right-click context menu and select Page Source
