Just found this description of the problem, in which the issue is traced to an ambiguity in the HTML spec rather than a definite Firefox bug:

I do think that the Elgg source needs to be careful to delete HTML code that may contain user generated content rather than simply commenting it out.
After all, the content *could* have contained the string "-->" which then would have broken the layout in any browser.
This worked for me - but I was adding a theme and it did not seem to work for Kyle.

hi. shouvik, for your clear picture...i must tell that, i have developed the site on my local machine and now i am migrating this to a new server through FTP. If you know successful steps then please write to me.
Do this change htaccess_dist to .htaccess and your problem is solved.The .htaccess was lost during transfer.I faced this problem some time back and it solved it.
Follow as anirup said. By renamimg htaccess_dist to .htaccess, you can make sure that, your htaccess is up to date.
guyslounge,
Go to the Developers tab, there are tons of freelancers. Also, if you host with GoDaddy, you can intsall elgg and have it running in less than 5 minutes w/o any knowledge whatsover! You can just add "Delux Hosting" to your domain for $7.00 a month. This will get you started until you outgrow that server, then when you bring in the $$$ you can get yourself a dedicated server :)

I bailed on Gdaddy and my life is actually fun again! I went with A2 hosting for $12.95 a month and it took awhile to get it loaded but it runs clean and fasssssssssssssssst. And I am an idiot!
Any serious webmaster would have nothing to do with GoDaddy. If you know how to install software, what is the problem? And if you are using default install, you are not very smart. It's not most secure.
