Details

any bugzilla query will show this at the bottom or the page, where the number of
hits is reported.

Here's a simplified test case:
  <table border>
    <tr>
      <td>abc
  </table>
  after

note the missing </td> and </tr>.  Lots of pages out there rely on this pattern.
Priority: P3 → P2
I think this is the root cause for a fair number of flaky pages I've seen
recently.  Sorry, don't have any specific URL's minimized to prove it. I just
remember from my days working on table layout that lots of pages habitually omit
table end tags.
