(like: ..&lang=..) The bug is present also in Mozilla browser. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an HTML page with the code oh the entities without the final ; (es.: <html><body>&lang</body></html>) 2. Open it with FireFox/Mozilla Actual Results: You see the symbol of left bracket angle instead of the string: "&lang" as expected Expected Results: Display the string: "&lang"
