The presence or absence of a script tag should never influence a color on the page yet does.
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FONT COLOR="green">
<p style="color:red">Should always be red</p>
<script></script>
</FONT>
</BODY>
</HTML>
If the <script> tag in the above is commented out then the text color changes to red. If the script tag is present then the text color is that of the surrounding <font> tag namely green. Tested on Firefox 3.0.8 in normal and in safe mode. Also tested on SeaMonkey 1.1.11 and it does the same.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Comment out the script tag
2. Put back the script tag
Actual Results:
No script tag - text color red
With script tag - text color green
Expected Results:
No script tag - text color red
With script tag - text color red
Script tag shouldn't make a difference.

I tried several variants of the test case, and was able to re-produce the bug in Minefield 3.7a5. The problem seems to be the <font> tag: the following code reproduces the bug:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<style>
.test {color: green;}
</style>
<body>
<font class="test">
<p style="color: red;">Should always be red</p>
<script></script>
</font>
</body>
</html>
but changing the <font> tag to, say, <div> causes the text "Should always be red" to render in red as expected:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<style>
.test {color: green;}
</style>
<body>
<div class="test">
<p style="color: red;">Should always be red</p>
<script></div>
</font>
</body>
</html>

Could you check how the latest nightly build works with the HTML5 parser turned on (http://hsivonen.iki.fi/test-html5-parsing/) and preferably also whether it matches the specified algorithm: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/parsing.html :)

New Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.3a5pre) Gecko/20100426 Minefield/3.7a5pre
With the HTML5 parser enabled, the text "Should always be red" is rendered in red with the test case:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<style>
.test {color: green;}
</style>
<body>
<font class="test">
<p style="color: red;">Should always be red</p>
<script></script>
</font>
</body>
</html>
The text even renders in red with the original test case:
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FONT COLOR="green">
<p style="color:red">Should always be red</p>
<script></script>
</FONT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Depends on: html5-parsing

Thanks for testing! As you probably deduced from the set dependency, this means that this will be fixed by switching to the HTML5 parser.
