Is there a proper way to config multi-line text boxes so they're compatible with all/most browsers?

I've got forms that use multi-line text-boxes and they work fine with IE and Chrome.  A user just discovered that in Firefox the fields don't wrap (it basically appears to be a large field but acts like a single-line).

Is there a workaround/fix for this?

Is the input text just some dummy text line e.g. "aaaaaaaaaaaaa...." without any spaces? Try by adding lorem ipsum sample text i.e. actual words with spaces between. It should wrap.

Maybe there's a better way to go in general.

Even when wrapping works, it's not that pretty.  :-)

(The above is in Chrome or IE.)

As a side-note, the Rich Text data-type for the List along with Rich Text Box field for the form behave as expected.

I've avoided Rich Text in the past for reasons I can't remember now...
