When a web page uses comments with strings of dashes, Firefox will apparently
display a comment as text. See:
http://communiques.gouv.qc.ca/gouvqc/communiques/GPQF/Septembre2005/01/c5121.html
which displays STORY at the top which is a comment.


Reproducible: Always
This is a duplicate of an invalid bug.
That page is in standards compliance mode, so the html parser gets more strict
and doesn't allow -- in comments, it sees that as the end of the comment.
