I see 
  <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" CODEPAGE="1252"%>
at the top of the page. The page in question is at
- http://www.excellenceinpractice.co.uk/homepagemenu.htm

I'm guessing that this is invalid (IE only) markup and firefox is doing what it
should. ie: it's not recognised as legitimate HTML command so it's displaying it
as text as it thinks it is.

Wouldn't it be better if the server was fixed to not send that cruft rather than
relying on browsers to hide it (see Bug 72565)?

Moving to Tech Evangelism.
