Hi Richard,
I think that you guessed the issue correctly.
The content of the Firefox memory contains HTML that is transformed a little
because of several reasons like javascript execution and as you can see
there are
several HTML errors in it. The one you saw is just a example of one,
there is another
one with & in the arguments of urls. I should log a Firefox bug on this.
But I found
no time to do it yet.
