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

The following discussion was the events that lead to this possible bug:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/showthread.php?s=&postid=10618318#post10618318

Basicly, it seems that when the source of that page is viewed with MSIE, it
comes out correctly, when viewed with firefox, the code is this:

<a href =" blah.htm">

where the " and the space look like they've been swapped around.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just visit the test page.
Actual Results:  
The source, at least is viewed incorrectly. Although this creates no visible
structural errors, the page does not validate on client side.

Expected Results:  
Not mixed up the quote and the space, IE, no spaces in the filename.

I believe this should be critical, as all pages effected with this error are
appently not standards compliant.

James, can you see if the problem occurs in a nightly Firefox build?

As mentionned in that forum thread, this is very likely the same as bug 154120,
whose fix will appear in Firefox in 1.1.

[James Read]

The problem appears fixed in the nightly build, however I cannot install the
extenion I wish to test - html validator ( based on tidy ) - is this a generic
problem / feature of nightly builds?

[Jason Barnabe (np)]

Yes, extensions often don't work with nightlies.
