Yes, Firefox does this. I'm not sure if it's a bug or a feature,

compliance, would suffer from such a stupid bug. Or maybe I'm
wrong. :)
Nowhere in the spec (up to CSS 2.1) is defined how to handle wrapping
long strings without any spaces in it, thus Firefox nor any other modern
browser does it.
IE has had a propietary feature that lets you declare how to handle such
a situation (word-wrap and word-break and properties):

These properties went into the CSS 3 text module:
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#word-wrap
I don't know if any browser supports that to date. Ha, IE supports CSS 3
already so to say.
That module is working draft, thus I don't think you can call it a bug
if a browser does not support it yet.
