Firebox incorrectly renders close comment tag when DOCTYPE is specified as XHTML
transitional and a double-hyphen is somewhere in the enclosed commented-out text.

If the double-hyphen in the commented text is removed, it renders correctly.

If the DOCTYPE is removed, it renders correctly.





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add/remove DOCTYPE tag to observe broken close comment tag, or 
1. Change -- to - in the commented text.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
	<title>Test Comment</title>
</head>

<body>

<p>Something</p>

<!--
	<p>Try with double or single--dash?</p>
-->

<p>Else</p>

</body>
</html>


Actual Results:  
Something
-->
Else

(versus)

Something
Else

Expected Results:  
Something
Else
