If the html contains this:
<a href="rules.htm">Go&nbspin&nbspFive&nbspMinutes&nbspFlat</a>
Then I expect to see this:
Go in Five Minutes Flat
But instead I see this:
Go&nbspin&nbspFive&nbspMinutes&nbspFlat

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. write html file containing <a
href="rules.htm">Go&nbspin&nbspFive&nbspMinutes&nbspFlat</a>
2. view it in firefox
3.

Actual Results:  
See "details" section.

Expected Results:  
See "details" section.
Entities must be terminated by a semicolon: &nbsp; rather than &nbsp

For bugwards compatibility, Firefox will let you get away with it followed by a
space, but not followed by another character.
