User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2

On entry to the page 14 warnings are reported, using the Clean up the Page
button, and then saving the result results in 18 warnings being reported. 
Surely if the page is cleaned up, the number of warnings should be zero, or at
least reduced?

CSE HTML Validator reports 0 errors on the page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to url
2. click on icon next to '0 error / 14 warnings'
3. click Clean up this Page
4. save results
5: go to page

Actual Results:  
'0 error / 18 warnings'

Expected Results:  
'0 error / 0 warnings'

Unable to follow repro steps; step 2
At http://www.fisher-uk.co.uk/index.htm I see no ""icon next to '0 error / 14
warnings'""

I refer to the orange/yellow triangular icon that Firefox presents to the user,
you may refer to it as the HTML Validation Result, but not being a long time
Mozilla user, I refer to it as being an 'icon'.

What HTML Validation Result? Is it an extension  you installed?

Maybe I'm just being dense, but I see no such icon in Firefox.

This is an extension for Firefox ( http://users.skynet.be/mgueury/mozilla/ )
called HTML Validator.

Any issues should be taken up with the author of the extension and this bug
should be marked as invalid.

Invalid, please see comment 5

Attachment: Screen dump showing the relavant detail

This demonstrates the existance of the icon - this is a plain install of
Firefox 1.0.2 from your site, and no extensions have been applied.

I can't actually see your screenshot, but I am guessing that the extension
is in your profile, and did not get wiped with a fresh (updated) install.

You could try with a fresh profile.

The reporter has a good point BUT
    1. The report is entirely about an extension (and should not be in Bugzilla)
    2. The problem is with Tidy which is a linter rather than a validator, and
is therefore also outside the scope of the extension.

Since it is April the 1st (the only offical Internet holiday), I'll add one
OT comment, that this wouldn't happen if Firefox DID have an icon that
showed the count of parsing errors on the page.

Bug 47108 "Hook up HTML quality indicator to status bar (icon for notification 
of page errors)" [131 comments]

Bug 40945 "Implement validating HTML parser using SP"

Bug 6211 "View Page Errors (Web Development Console)" [110 comments]

I have a profile with this extension in it, and I can confirm that the slow 
down in parsing/rendering pages is noticeable.

You probably wanted to attach the file 'image002.jpg'. You might also
want to check Tools->Extensions.

If you installed the extension previously, it will still be in your profile,
even through uninstall/reinstall.

This is NOT a Firefox features.
