User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

I just went to http://www.killer-apps.com/ which has erroniously written ASP
code to the browser instead of executing it. The ASP code and the JSCRIPT header
appear at the top of the page, but there is no close javascript tag. The page
does not render in Firefox 1 Preview Release. The page renders perfectly in IE
6.0 despite having the same HTML. I just thought you should be aware of this
anomaly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.killer-apps.com/ with Firefox.
2. Notice how no meaningful page is displayed. Scratch head and view source.
3. Fire up IE and see page rendered nicely.
4. Decide to tell the great people at Mozilla.org in your first bug post.

Actual Results:  
Page is not displayed properly, due to incorrect and non-standards adhering HTML.

Expected Results:  
Rendered the page the same as IE, neatly sidestepping the eroneous code.

That is correct behavior, and a TE bug.  See bug 204704 comment 3 for why.
