firefox: parsers wrongly HTML comment ends

[wim delvaux]

Package: firefox
Version: 1.0.7-0ubuntu20
Severity: normal


firefox wrongly assumes that <!-- --affd  dsa adf ad fdf a>  ..... --> 
stops after the first '>'.

I would assume that the comment is --> or --!> but not -- ...... > 

here is an example
<!--Array
(
    [19] => Array
        (
            [0] => opleid
            [1] => 1,a,--,a,--,--,--,--
        )

    [20] => Array
        (
            [0] => prd_act
            [1] => 114083055234615500
        )
)
-->

the Array keywords in item [20] is shown as data and NOT as part of the
comment
