Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050824 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050824 Firefox/1.0.6

When saving a website to disk, Mozilla (Firefox) wants to copy the stylesheet
and such as well.

It also alters the '<link rel="stylesheet"' line to point to the proper
filename. It does a great job at it, but forgets to put a '/>' at the end when
the page is a XHTML document, thus breaking its validity.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a page that is written in XHTML and uses CSS stylesheets
2. Save the page to your harddisk
3. Throw the page through the W3C Validator (http://validator.w3.org/)
Actual Results:  
The validator shows an error that the '<link rel="stylesheet"' tag isn't closed

Expected Results:  
It should have added a prober '/>' at the end of the '<link rel="stylesheet"' tag.
Please give an example page, I'm guessing you're referring to a page sent with a
HTML (rather than a XHTML) MIME type? If that's the case then this bug is a
duplicate of Bug 120556 (see Bug 120556 comment 6). Use the "HTML only" type in
the Save As dialog to get the original source.
Woops - yes it is sent as text/html.

Wouldn't it be better to look at the doctype instead of the mime-type it was
sent with? I guess 99% of the XHTML pages are sent as text/html.

I suspect a lot of "XHTML" pages would die horribly if treated as such.
