Bug Description

The Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0 supports the CSS feature hyphens:auto with the prefix -moz. But it doesn’t use the same hyphenation patterns as for example LibreOffice (as the “fixed” bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/894166 claims).

I’ve made a screenshot comparing the hyphenation between LibreOffice (on the left) and Firefox 23 (on the right). Note that in this case all hyphenations of Firefox are wrong, while LibreOffice gets it right.
