What's the point of norms if you don't respect them ? Norms are not there for your convenience. They are there to make sure everyone speak the same language. You can't say "screw them" because you're too lazy to make proper html.
And yes, i wish firefox said me "to the hell with you", when i'm stupid enough to send weirdo html. If it did, maybe developers would pay more attention in following the norms.

You run validators to check your html code. There is an explicit goal that browsers should be forgiving. A browser that is not forgiving is not following the design principle.
You should have used an validator. Do not blame firefox for your mistake.
