Because IE is more permissive on the syntax than Firefox, it doesn't
make this incorrect syntax correct.

I could also create broken HTML that Firefox accepts and wouldn't work
at all in Internet Explorer and your broken example will most likely not
work in internet Explorer 7 which has a less broken engine than IE6.

The ONLY solution is to stick to the correct syntax that works everywhere.
