The Omega standard theme adds a character string */--> to the top of the page when displayed in Firefox 3.6.18. I also got this string when using an html5 subtheme.
The character string doesn't appear on Firefox 5.0.1 or Internet Explorer 8. I could not test other versions.

Thanks,
Christian.

Does that also appear with debugging turned off?

No, it only appears with debugging and the responsive grid enabled.

In case it is helpful, here's an excerpt from the page source that includes the */--> 

<!--[if (lt IE 9)&(!IEMobile)]>
<style type="text/css" media="all">
<!--/*--><![CDATA[/*><!--*/
.alpha-grid-debug .container-12{background-image:url(http://example.com/sites/all/themes/omega/alpha/css/grid/alpha_default/normal/alpha-default-normal-12.png);}

/*]]>*/-->
</style>
<![endif]>

Okay, If its not appearing when debugging is turned off. Then I really don't care :P. This bug is not caused by Omega actually. Well ... We use drupal_add_css with a browsers() definition that generates Browser Conditional tags in the DOM (Drupal Core generates those). So I can't really do anything about how they look. Use a different Browser! :P

Since this won't happen on a live site (because you won't have grid debugging turned on) this is not an Issue (for now). I might dig into this for a Drupal Core patch someday but I believe its really the browsers fault as the DOM looks fine.

Yes, I can confirm arielqgolds findings.
The problem disappears when grid is switched off, debug can stay on.
I've attached screenshots of the debug settings and the result for both settings.
Christian.
PS:
Drupal 7.7
Firefox 3.6.18 and 3.6.19 tested the same.

Sorry, changed state.
Thanks for looking into it and the tip of grid off letting it disappear.
Christian.

Just an addition for the record, should anyone look into a browser patch eventually:
I found a similar effect at the exact same circumstances with the Webkit 3.1 browser on an HTC Desire with Android 2.2., though much more text is added, when grid debug is on:

*/.alpha-grid-debug .container-12{background-image:url(http://www.friendcircle-worldhelp.com/sites/all/themes/omega/alpha/css/g...);}/**/-->

Thanks for your hard work on the theme,
Christian.

I also encountered this small bug, which is a bit annoying, but I guess I'll just leave it if standard users don't ever see it.

Theme displays Character string */--> in Firefox 3.6.25 (*I can't upgrad to the newer firefox).

arielqgold : it 'still' appears with debugging and the responsive grid enabled/disabled. Also, I looked at the images and noticed that I don't even have the top/main header navigational menu (I'm a newbie to drupal as well, but had it initially installed on my local machine for testing and it worked fine until I tried running omega.

This is a fresh install with firefox 3.6.25, drupal-7 and omega-7.x-3.x. Finally, the machine that I am working on is a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 (Leopard), which I plan on using for this [2012] year (unless I can get the current machine to purchase).

Can someone point me in the right direction to get this up and running? I'd love to be able to use this awesome theme.

Thanks guys!

PS: The missing top/main header navagational menu I'm referring to is attached [image file].

As I said. Its a core Issue.
