Geany (=editor) puts these comments above the <!DOCTYPE ...> tag. So far so good. But if I include two more lines in the comment tag (<!-- -->), Firefox seems to ignore the CSS font-size property for a <table> in a <div> element. this site works OK: http://ffbug.awardspace.biz/ff_bug.html this site doesn't: http://ffbug.awardspace.biz/ff_bug2.html the latter has two more (indented) lines in the <!-- --> tag and the font size in the table is the firefox standard instead of the css-specified 28 px. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the websites noted in the 'Details' section Actual Results: The font size of the text in the table-in-div is standard (14px?) instead of the css-specified 28px (in ff_bug2.html) Expected Results: The font size of the text in the table-in-div should be 28px, what was specified in css. So do Opera and Safari Tested on clean install on Windows with latest nightly build and on Linux with latest nightly build (no clean install)

The second is using Mozilla Quirks Mode (because a standard DOCTYPE is not found in the first buffer?): 83 table { 84 text-align: start; 85 white-space: normal; /* compatible with IE & spec */ 86 line-height: normal; 87 88 /* Quirk: cut off all font inheritance in tables except for family. */ 89 font-size: -moz-initial; 90 font-weight: -moz-initial; 91 font-style: -moz-initial; 92 font-variant: -moz-initial; 93 }
