No-content <div> tags, e.g., <div id="test" />, appear as unclosed tags in the DOM inspector, i.e., the following nodes appear as *children* of this node.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create the following XHTML file:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div id="3" />
<br />
<p>hello</p>
</body>
</html>
(This also works without the DOCTYPE specification.)
2. Load the file in FireFox.
3. Open the DOM Inspector.
Actual Results:
The DOM tree (sans #text nodes) appears as:
+- #document
+- HTML
+- HEAD
+- BODY
+- DIV (id=3)
+- BR <-- <br /> and <p> are children of <div>
+- P
Expected Results:
The DOM tree (sans #text nodes) should appear as:
+- #document
+- HTML
+- HEAD
+- BODY
+- DIV (id=3)
+- BR <-- <br /> and <p> are siblings of <div>
+- P
Closing the <div> tag using the full syntax, <div id="3"></div>, works fine.
I am not sure if the problem is with the DOM inspector, or with the parsing mechanism; I suppose this can be tested by applying some CSS property to the <div> and checking if it affects the <p> that follows it.
If it's not just a DOM inspector issue, then as the popularity of XHTML and CSS grows, this bug could lead to strange effects...

Confirmed Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060214 Firefox/1.5 ID:2006021404
With this page:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<div id="3" style="visibility:hidden;" />
<br />
<p>hello</p>
</body>
</html>
Not only the div dissapear but also <p>hello</p>.
The category of this bug should probably be changed to Core:DOM.

You are probably serving/viewing the XHTML as text/html, so it is parsed by the HTML, not XML , parser. See bug 135425 for details.
