The changes to plain text handling in v22 is wreaking havoc on my reports, how do i turn of text resizing and word wrap in v22?
I have a web based system that produces plain text reports. The changes made to plain text handling in v22 is messing up these reports. My columns are displaying underneath each other making it unreadable. How do i turn of the changes made to plain text handling and is there a way to roll out that solution to 160 users using Firefox?

Shouldnt they be displayed thru a text processer such as notepad?

I do agree that would be ideal. Unfortunately that is not how our system is setup. I have spoken with the developers and they claim its because they develop primarily for IE. However our IT policy explicitly exudes IE from our environment. Is there not a way to handle this issue by making changes in about:config?
so when you open a .txt file you are sent to Firefox?
have you tried using the control panel to change the defualt .txt to notepad
and in FIrefox, refer to the link below?
No actual file is generated. When a user opens a report, a new Firefox window opens displaying only plain text (I'd attached a screenshot but it contains confidential data and my boss won't allow it). I think it is just plain text generated by php and then displayed as a webpage
I dont think such has changed in Fx22, let me check.
EDIT: nope, does this happen in other places in your workplace?

only with users who upgraded to v22 of Firefox
Did you inspect the page source to see if this is a text file or an HTML file with PRE tags?
- Firefox > Web Developer > Page Source
- Tools > Web Developer > Page Source (Ctrl+U)
- right-click on a web page to open the context menu and select View Page Source
With what content type does the server send the file (Tools > Page Info > General)?
It is an HTML file with PRE tags
Such an HTML file with PRE tags should be display as it is send.
Only PRE tags or other HTML code as well?
Can you post a short excerpt to check it out?
You can use <pre>PRE</pre> tags on this forum as well.
If there is other HTML code then the result might be unpredictable.
