Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

In XHTML, meta tags should be written with a closing slash, so:
<meta ... />

When Mozilla/Firefox saves meta tags, it saves them without the ending slash.:
<meta ...>


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Save a file which includes a meta tag
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
<meta ....> (not closing slash)

Expected Results:  
<meta .../> (closing slash)
This is as designed.  See bug 120556 comment 6 for why.
