Firefox 4 seems to action on some html tags that are included within a html comment tag which it should not.
Consider the following html code where I open a textarea and include a comment tag within the textarea. Within the comment tag (which Firefox 4 should ignore) I've included a close textarea tag. Firefox 4 (unlike FF3 and IE) closes the textarea.
The following code is also available at

We are about to start a textarea....
<textarea rows='20' cols='40'> Here is the textarea. Inside these comment blocks I'll put a close textarea tag which Firefox should ignore but does not. <p> <!-- We are now inside comment blocks... <br> This code should be inside the text area.<br> </textarea> <br> and so should this code be <b>inside</b> the text area (but is not in Firefox 4). --> </textarea> <p>
This code should be outside the textbox.
