Build ID: 20111222095143
Steps to reproduce:
A Wikipedia to HTML converter wrote the following snippet (reduced to its simplest expression):
<html><head><title /></head><body>Hello, world!</body></html>
Along with the XHTML payload but I removed it too for clarity since it behaves the same.
Actual results:
Firefox doesn't consider the title tag is closed and thinks "</head><body>Hello, world!</body></html>" is the title of the document as seen in the window title.
Expected results:
The title tag is closed so the parsing should occur as expected.
Writing "<title>" without the closing tag fails the same way and I found a bug report addressing this issue.
Writing "<titl />" with a typo makes the document render as expected.

The slash in <title /> is ignored by a HTML parser, it's parsed as <title>
Please report a bug to the maintainers of the "Wikipedia to HTML converter" you're using.
