The following simple html shows the problem. Not sure what the html standard
says about this, but IE displays it without problem (i.e., comments are
correctly recognized, and skipped).

<html><head>
<title>eValuator -
<!-- <div class="docstyle">include = clnyy_Benefit_Plans_Hdr <br><br></div> -->
Your eValuator&trade; Home Page
<!-- <div class="docstyle"><br><br>include-end<br><br></div> -->
</title>
<body>
XXX
</body>
</html>

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Save the sample html into a file
2. Open the file in Firefox
3. Check the Window title in firefox

Actual Results:  
you should see: sth like <!-- comment --> in  the Window title in firefox.

Expected Results:  
Skip the comments
The same bug applies to the tab title.
