text wrapping in firefox

I have googled but did not find a working solution.

My output is displayed in a TextArea - it is a single lengthy line with no spaces or linebreaks (and should not have them either). How do I wrap it without the horizontal scroll-bar coming in FireFox?

There is a new CSS3 property which will allow this to happen but browsers do not implement it yet. This topic has come up before so you should search here. I don't recall if there is a '-moz' something that will do this.
