This bug is similar to Bugzilla Bug 287312 but as I'm not sure about whether or
not I'm able to add my 10 cent's worth of information to an already existing
bug, I've devcided to open a new bug.

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

Here is my style sheet:

<STYLE type=text/css>

BODY { font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif }
H1 { font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif }

</STYLE>

and here is my HTML:

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="Sothink HTML Editor">

<LINK REL=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css" HREF="sitestyle.css">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<title>
Brown's - Welcome to Brown's 
</title>

<BODY>
<p><h1>DNMobile</h1> is the client program used with Brown’s Boxes.</p>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Firefox does not take the information from the style sheet relating to <BODY>
but it does with regards to <H1>. This proves that the style sheet is being read
and is correcty coded. Simply, when I state that I want the body text to be
arial, Firefox continues to display the body text as whatever I've set it up as
in Tools / Options / Fonts & Colours.

I think this is a bug but it could be a "feature".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create the two files.
2. Open the HTML file.
3.

Actual Results:  
The style, as configured within the style sheet, is not actioned by Firefox.

Expected Results:  
The style, as configured within the style sheet, is actioned by Firefox.
Please attach a testcase showing what you mean:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?bugid=293142&action=enter
Does your external style sheet include the following two lines?
<STYLE type=text/css>
</STYLE>

If yes, please remove them and try again.

This is the same issue as the other bug, you can't have HTML code in external
CSS files. As Erik mentions in comment 2, you need to remove the extra lines
from the CSS file.
