Having a code like this:

<script>var test="</script>";</script>

Makes the </script> terminate even if it is inside quotes.

What's interesting it that it behaves differently if single-quotes are used:

<script>var test='</script>';</script>


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a html page with this content: <script>var test="</script>";alert(1);</script>
2. Open it in Firefox

Actual Results:  
Alert does not show up.

Expected Results:  
Alert should show up.
