Attached file testcase (HTML)
When the HTML5 parser is enabled (pref html5.enable=true), and a document is loaded which contains a script block that defines some specific data in JSON format, the script is broken and fails to execute, although no error is shown in the javascript console. The script runs normally with the HTML5 parser disabled. To reproduce: 1. Set pref html5.enable=false. 2. Load testfile attached, observe script-generated output: here we go! Incorrect comment ending sequences in [R]CDATA 3. Set pref html5.enable=true. 4. Reload testfile. Results: A blank page is displayed. Looking at the javascript console reveals no errors.
