This code makes the entire comment (tags and all) appear. Removing the "strict" DOCTYPE makes the comment work correctly.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>

<!-- -- -->

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a page with the code given in "Details"
2. View the page with FF3.0.11
3.
Actual Results:
<!--- -- -->
Expected Results:
(literally)
It seems the middle dashes are being counted; not all numbers work. 2 & 3 do; 4 & 5 don't. 6 & 7 do (thank goodness) but 8 is right out! Grouping the dashes with spaces is fun, too.

For (x)html with a doctype -- is the end of a comment see comments 1, 3, 4, etc. of the bug this is dupe'ed to. HTML5 explicitly changes this behavior. It is not clear if the change will carry over to previous (x)html doctypes.
