User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

The badly coded text in the table tags but not in table data tags is
automatically moved to the beginning of the table by Firefox (this is standard
behaviour.) However, Firefox shows different page sources between "view source"
and "view selection source."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the example page.
2. View the source.
3. Then select all the text on the page and view the selection source.

Actual Results:  
In the regular source the badly coded text appears in its correct place. In the
view selection source the badly coded text appears before the table. 

Expected Results:  
Both ways to view the source should show the same source. I think it should be
the original unedited source.

I see what the reporter describes too.
