They do not show up parsed and displayed as entities, but as the raw character codes. See the screenshot of my browser doing this: http://homepage.mac.com/Berkana/FireFoxBugs/RSS_in_tabs.png Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put a link to an RSS feed in your link bar 2. View the link bar when a headline includes an HTML entity code 3. Actual Results: The raw characters that make up the HTML entity code show up in the headline. Expected Results: I expect the entity codes to be parsed and displayed as the character or entity they encode.
