> Checked http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/tr14-17.html#ConfProperties, it only says that line break is prohibited before a closing punctuation and after an opening punctuation. Does not talk about whether we can break in between these opening and closing punctuation. Any other documentation that I can refer to ?

Reading UAX14 more carefully, I noticed that the section "Line Breaking Algorithm" concludes with "Finally, join alphabetic letters and break everything else." So Firefox is incorrect and the correct behavior would be to always allow line breaks between {a}{b}. I checked and this is actually what Opera does already, as well as all the word processors I tested (AbiWord, LibreOffice, and Leafpad).

See http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr14/tr14-17.html#Algorithm
