The spontaneous symmetry breaking (and Higgs) mechanism in the theory quantized on the light-front (\it l.f.), in the \it discretized formulation, is discussed. The infinite volume limit is taken to obtain the \it continuum version. The hamiltonian formulation is shown to contain a new ingredient in the form of nonlocal \it constraint eqs. which lead to a \it nonlocal l.f. Hamiltonian. The description of the broken symmetry here has the same physical content as in the conventional formulation though arrived at through a different mechanism.
