Not sure how to put this, but it looks like that parser drops a whole lot of tags nowadays on some pages, you can see this on at least the following sites: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/ the toc is just a big mess, i.e. not nicely formatted http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2/core.html http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2/html.html http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2/css.html most of the interface definitions are missing the grey background http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210 most of the formatting of the text is lost http://www.hex.fi/eng/marketinfo/index_stock.html last table not displayed as a table I checked this out somewhat and it looks like the problem is that the parser simply doesn't give all the necessary elements to the content sink... Not sure what's common to all these pages but IMO this is not acceptable for beta2. I have a few simplified testcases that I'll attach.

Both attachements have in common the fact that they are correctly missing an optional </P> but StrictDTD doesn't accept that yet. This is a DUP of several bugs, the most recent one I found is bug 42312. Not marking DUP; when that bug is fixed I think this should be rechecked.
Depends on: 42312
Yup, looks like this is a dup, here's one more page to check once bug 42312 is fixed. http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-html40-19980424/index/attributes.html
This is a dup of 42312, and is fixed in my tree. In fact, in most cases mozilla looks *FAR* better than navigator on these pages (look at the stock market example). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 42312 ***

Yes, I agree, Navigator didn't event come close mozilla on any of the mentioned URL's before this regression, looking forward to your fix...
