Line breaks are ignored when previewed or saved. The problem was reported in the code commit note. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/61991 The problem was reproduced in FF3 on Ubuntu and FF3.5 on Windows 7.
With Opera 10 and IE8 on Windows 7, single line break is ignored. But the double breaks renders as a single break.
I don't see how r61991 is directly related; maybe stripping the <br> at the end of a <p> should be Firefox-specific as well. Also, could you tell us whether the line breaks in question were added line breaks or line breaks already present in the article?
For my test cases, added line breaks disappear when the edits are previewed or saved. Existing line breaks are fine. (FF3 Ubuntu 9.04)
This was already resolved in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/62041 but due to some infrastructure issues not pushed out to non-European visitors.

I should have mentioned that single line break is ignored. Please verify double line breaks inserts a line break in preview or save.

Shouldn't all the browsers should function the same way? The attachment shows how different browses act.
Created attachment 7095 [details] Wiki_bug_2010-02-09_22401_III.pdf Please refer the attachment. Different browsers act different on data preview. When data copy and paste from a word document, Fire Fox add a tag in the editor. This is not shown in any other browser. But when a text copy and past from the wikimedia itself, that tag is not shown in Fire Fox

Resolved in r62258 - when new lines were created while the cursor was at a <br> within the body (on a blank line) the browser would not create <p> encapsulated new lines, but instead use raw text nodes in the body and more <br> tags (the browser just follows whatever is around the cursor) or in even more frustrating cases <div> tags which are not being handled for newline conversion at all. By wrapping <br> tags with <p> tags we ensure the browser always has the right hint, and the browser now properly encloses new lines, no matter where they were created at, with <p> tags.
