130690 - Stylesheet First Object doesn't work on LINKed stylesheets

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect)

Description

[Laird Bedore]

There appears to be a parsing bug that causes the first object in a linked
stylesheet to go ignored. It seems like simply including a {} bracket pair
before the first object is adequate to make mozilla behave properly.

I've noticed this bug since M13 (when I started regularly using mozilla), but
haven't been motivated to track it down until now.

<style type="text/css"> is not supposed to be part of an external stylesheet --
that's HTML, not CSS.

text/css is CSS, not HTML. You don't need to (and in fact are not allowed to)
put any HTML in text/css files.
