Hello,
It looks like the problem is with LibreOffice interpreting DOCTYPEs. You see, every HTML is supposed to have a DOCTYPE at the top of the file, explaining what version of HTML (HTML5, HTML4.01, etc) the file uses. The file you uploaded has a DOCTYPE of HTML4.01 Transitional. Anyway, if I remove the <!DOCTYPE ...> part of the HTML file, and reopen it in LibreOffice, it works just fine, and shows the file's contents (not the source). Even switching the DOCTYPE to <!DOCTYPE html> (HTML5) causes the problem. So, in theory, if you want to view an HTML file in LibreOffice 4.2, you have to remove its <!DOCTYPE ...>, and it will work fine. Would you like an official bug to be filed so that the developers know of the problem and can try to fix it?

I've produced a document that doesn't work with LO. It is at https://www.dropbox.com/s/mbylcso4r2qm2r2/test.html

Strangely it does open in Abiword.

Earlier documents produced by moneydance as recently as last month open fine in LO. I have not upgraded moneydance in that time.

Having quickly opened about 20 html's the problem is limited to those produced lately by moneydance.

I haven't had time to look closely at the html source. I suppose it's possible that LO is now being more strict in its interpretation.

The work around in the short term might be to use Abiword.
