When saving websites as HTML in Firefox, I've noticed that Firefox inserts new line breaks at about 80 characters inside text content nodes.

While this normally isn't an issue, it completely breaks downloaded twine games (newlines are inserted within <tw-passagedata> nodes). First, twine's display is sensitive to newlines, so inserting newlines forces line breaks in the output. And, if there's embedded javascript inside a passage, the line breaks can happen inside a quoted string, creating a syntax error.

Unfortunately, I had saved a lot of twine games using Firefox, so they're mostly broken in various ways now...

Is there a way to make Firefox *not* add newlines while saving-as-html?

(I don't *think* Chromium has this issue? I feel like it messed up twine games in other ways but don't remember how...)

(see examples from SPY INTRIGUE)

It still feels kind of incredible to see my game on a list like this...
