Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

The font became bigger and bold on a page I was browsing. I viewed the same page
in internet explorer and the font looked normal(not bigger and bold). I viewed
the source html from the page in firefox and there were <tbody> tags on all
tables where the font was different. I viewed the source in IE and the <tbody>
tags weren't there. I did a google search about this, in firefox. The results
from the search came back big and bold. I view the source of the google search
page and <tbody> tags where added to all of the tables on that page. Did the
same google search in IE and the <tbody> tags were not there. I had 8 or 9 tabs
open in firefox at the time so I viewed various pages in each tab and the same
thing was happenning on all of them, tags were added and the font was bigger and
bold. I close firefox and started it again. I went to the same pages and the
tags were no longer being added and the font wasn't bigger and bold anymore.

Does this happend in safe mode as well?

Comment 2

[Ben Fowler]

I may be out of my depth, but I suggest that: This is by design, since the DOM 
tree requires a tbody element in a table.

See Bug 164906 "view selection source shows generated code instead of 
actual source"

This is by design, see comment 2

There were 8 or 9 URLs this was happening to Google, Yahoo, MSN, and others it
didn't appear to be related to a specific site.

Although the tbody may be added by design they normally don't show up when
viewing the source. They aren't being added if I view the source now, check the
source of a page you are looking at and see if they are being added. Also,
adding them shouldn't change the appearence of a page. I suspect the tags were
just a symptom of the problem not the cause.

The first site I noticed this on was an internal site on my company network. I
have viewed it before and since without this problem and the site hasn't been
modified much before or since.

Since you couldn't reproduce this, it's likely a problem with your profile, potentially an extension. I'm resolving this bug as INVALID again. If you see this issue using Firefox 2.0.0.3 or later with a fresh profile, please file a new bug with detailed steps to reproduce as well as a testcase.
