Seems more like some bad coding to me, have never seen this behavior on FireFox
before. They probably missed some tags that made it print everything, or
something like that.

This isn't a bug with the browser.  The server is sending an incorrect
content-type header for that page.  Please contact the webmaster of that site to
have the problem corrected.  Resolving INVALID.
