Please see web page in question:-

http://www.mcbethd.freeserve.co.uk/finglos.htm

After the "Fixed assets" line it losses markup.

This does not occur in ether Internet Explorer or Safari browsers.

Hello,

I am assuming that you are the developer of the page. Looking at your Page Source, you are missing a lot of end tags - can you try adding end tags for all of your FONT tags?

I took the liberty of submitting a bug report based on your site. Please see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1089044

Bug 512605 - [HTML5] HTML5 parser gives up easily with deeply nested tags Bug 354161 - DOM pruned at depth 200 Bug 256180 - Deeply nested elements are not rendered (TAGLVL has been exceeded)

Note that there is more wrong with that page apart from missing closing tags with a body tag in the head section: 

<HTML><br />
<HEAD><br />
<TITLE>Glossary of Terms</TITLE><br />
<BODY BACKGROUND=paintbg3.gif bgproperties="fixed" link="#0000ff" alink="#ff0000" vlink="teal"><br />
<META NAME="AUTHOR" CONTENT="donm"><br />
</HEAD><br />
<BODY>

Firefox shows error in the page code as red text.

  • Firefox > Web Developer > Page Source
  • Tools > Web Developer > Page Source (Ctrl+U)

You can hover such a red marked error with the mouse to see a tooltip with an explanation of what is wrong.
