I can still reproduce this and it bugs me because it makes longer texts unreadable (or I have to reformat pasted text). There is a reason why people use newlines and this Discourse/Firefox behaviour I experience ridicules the idea of newlines.

I’m on Firefox 47.0 and we are using Discourse _v1.6.0.beta8 +25_.
