I've been doing some research on this, to try to predict what might be happening. Can you post the URLs of some sites that cause this problem? My theory at the moment is that they are served with content type "application/xhtml+xml" instead of "text/html". This is what seems to cause browsers to parse the site as XML.

There is no 'parse as html' facility in Gecko browsers. There's a Firefox Addon called 'Force Content-Type' which changes the content type - unfortunately the wrong way: html to xml! But it could be changed.
