Some websites created with Microsoft Word (see example URL) have <img src=foo\bar.jpg> tags with backslashes instead of slash-forwards:

<img width=280 height=58 id="_x0000_i1025"
    src="yheader\yhead_files_r1_c1.gif" name="yhead_files_r1_c1" border=0>

IE corrects this and displays the image. Firefox doesn't.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the URL.
Actual Results:  
No images are displayed.

Expected Results:  
Show the images, even when the src path is formatted illegaly.

The rendering of \ as / in img src should be added - although it's illegal - because many websites are created with Microsoft Word.
Version: unspecified → 2.0 Branch
The same applies to normal links (also, see the example URL).
