We currently use two separate algorithms to determine word boundaries (for ctrl-left/right, double-click, etc.).
One is for "ASCII"- (really, Latin-1) only text, implemented directly in nsTextTransformer, and the other is a very simplistic algorithm implemented by nsSampleWordBreaker, used for anything that contains non-"ASCII" characters.
We should replace both (or at least nsSampleWordBreaker) with a word breaker that implements the Unicode word breaking algorithm, described in section 4 of UAX #29 (see URL).
See bug 56652 for the equivalent line-breaking issue.

Another related bug is bug 229896 (for grapheme clusters). This had better be filed under i18n because it can be potentially used for places other than layout.

We've integrated ICU4X word segmenter in bug 1719535, which is UAX 29 compatible.
