The offending page is consulted by a php script which reads the HTML content correctly; however, just displaying this page (a list of sources with keys such as [123]) in Firefox fails. The browser does not generate italic text after item [357]. The HTML code appears correct. Page displays properly in <ugh> IE7.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load the page
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
No italics after item [357]

Expected Results:  
Italicized text when <i> tag is encountered by FF.
This is due to the page containing a bunch of unclosed <b> tags.  At some point, Firefox decides the <i> tags are too deeply nested and ignores them.
