Hi,

On this webpage http://secondeguerre.net/temp/essais_kpz/ Firefox can't show the full page, it stops at the citation of George Santayana. This page is actually the same than this one http://secondeguerre.net but for this detail:

On the good one, there is a script for an embedded flash video : "<script type="text/javascript" src="http://affileo.net/pass/js.php?c=CgAAAMQFAABfAQAA&amp;s=p&amp;width=196"></script>"

On the bugging one, the scripts looks like this :
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://affileo.net/pass/js.php?c=CgAAAMQFAABfAQAA&amp;s=p&amp;width=196" /> 

</script> is just replaced by />. I know that using </script> is better, but Opera (9 & 10), Safari (3&4), Chrome and IE (7&8) show both page without any problem.

I had the same problem on FF 3.0, so this wasn't introduced by 3.5.
Hope you can fix this.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Insert a javascript element
2.Close it with /> instead of </script>
3.Watch the page bug
Actual Results:  
The page doesn't load further than the script.

Expected Results:  
Load the full page, like other browsers.

Content-Type: text/html thus Firefox parses it using the html renderer. XHTML must be sent as application/xhtml+xml or similar mime type.
