See bug 127478.
Same patch as for Firefox for Android applies to desktop as well (more or less).

STR:
1. Open about:memory.
2. Especially in portrait mode (but also even in landscape mode), a number of entries will be cut off at the screen edge.
3. Try scrolling horizontally.

Expected:
about:memory scrolls horizontally, allowing you to read the full title of longer entries.

Actual:
Doesn't work, only vertical scrolling is possible.

This is intentional. aboutMemory.css has this entry:

> div.non-verbose pre.entries {                                 
>   overflow-x: hidden;                                         
>   text-overflow: ellipsis;                                    
> }                                                             

which means an ellipsis will be used when text overflows. If you copy and paste, the omitted text will be included. Also, if you measure in verbose mode (by checking the "verbose" checkbox) then the ellipsis is *not* used, and very long lines are produced instead.

The intention was to make non-verbose mode always look nice and not have very long lines. But perhaps it's better to have long lines than to hide potentially useful information.
