Reproduced with today's M17 optimized build (2000-06-12 @ 20h00) and with a debug build pulled around 4pm the same day: - Quit the app if it is running already. - Launch, wait for the default Mozilla page to display. - Click the Bugzilla button in the toolbar or enter http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/. ==> The top part of the page displays the following HTML comment all in a single block (ie. no linefeeds): ********* The contents of this file are subject to the Mozilla Public License Version 1.1 (the "license"); you may not use this file except in compliance with the license.

You can launch the app and even surf a little bit, go to Bugzilla and the bug is there. Then it can't be reproduced until you quit the app. - It's very unfortunate but it doesn't happen if you load a copy of the Bugzilla page saved on your local disk.

I landed a fix last night which should have corrected this. Please retry.

Sorry, the bug is still there in today's daily build (2000-06-13 08:00).
harish: please take a look. The bugzilla.mozilla page is using html 3.2 as it's doctype, so I don't think this is related to the strictDTD.
