Aside from that, how does one code to non-standards? You are taught

This is coding to standards:
<tag>text goes here</tag>
This is not coding to standards:

Either use a tool that produces standards-compliant code, or run your
code through a validator of some sort. This won't solve 100% of the
problems, but it'd go a long way toward it.
(NOTE: I'm "armchair-quarterbacking" here; I'm not a web developer, and
have not walked in their shoes. But I'm strong on Idealism. That's part
of why I run the Free distro Debian as opposed to some of those others.)
Back to the original problem: as someone else pointed out, Firefox
should not crash just because it hits bad code. The fault here lies with
Firefox. I was just taking this opportunity to rant about standards
compliance.
(BTW, the login screen for Cox Cable Internet's webmail
(http://webmail.central.cox.net/) causes FF to crash also (at least on
my two home PCs; this work PC's FF didn't crash); this site also fails
the W3C standards validator.)
