Reproducible: Always Writeup of bug: http://stuntbox.com/blog/2011/02/a-syntax-riddle-wrapped-in-a-parsing-enigma/
Reporter: Do you see the issue with a Firefox 4 beta (https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/beta/) or nightly (http://nightly.mozilla.org/)? Firefox 3.6 lacks a fully html5 compliant parser. http://stuntbox.com/x/ff-html5-anchor-bug/with-header-tag.html works for me with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b13pre) Gecko/20110226 Firefox/4.0b13pre
Version: unspecified → Trunk
I can confirm that the bug does not appear in b12 for Mac.
Since this doesn't happen with Firefox 4, I set the version to 3.6 branch.
