ops, forgot you need to have a login and set your profile options to see all
messages in a single page. I'll upload the webpage to show the problem.

The Gecko in FF1.0.4 is old (over 12 months old). 
Please test it again with a current nightly build.

en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050607 Firefox/1.0+) and the bug is still there.

Can you post a reduced testcase?

Attachment: testcase

The page continues one spurious UL element. Also noteworthy: in standards mode
Mozilla renders the testcase like Opera & IE. The problem is this rule in
quirk.css (lines 213-214):

:not(dl) > dd {
  display: inline;
}

Argh, I didn't remove the 'display: block' declaration I added for testing
purposes in the last attachment.

The website itself no longer exposes the problem, but maybe we should think about the necessity of these lines.

I confirm this issue is reproducible on Windows XP and Windows 7 x64 using Latest Nightly 27:
