3.Hit enter

The page source is not valid.
it starts with <![CDATA[ that confuses firefox.

I created a minimized testcase from the report's website which demonstrates the problem.

That's a regression from Firefox 2, although I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.

Seeing this on Windows Vista -> all/all.

Hi,

Build ID 	20160306030215
User Agent 	Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:47.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/47.0
Build ID 	20160210153822
User Agent 	Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:44.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/44.0

I have tested this issue on the latest Firefox release (44.0.2) and the latest Nightly (47.0a1) and it is no longer reproducible. I can confirm that this was indeed and issue in Firefox 3.0.1 and that it worked in Firefox 2.0. 
Considering this I will mark this issue as Resolved-WORKSFORME. If anyone can still reproduce it, feel free to reopen the issue and provide more information.

Thanks,
Cipri
