When file is saved and then loaded Mozilla determines which parser - html, o xml to use by file extension. So if you save xhtml file as .html/.htm and then load it, it will be parsed by html parser, and in this case META is taken into account. If file is saved as .xhtml, .xml or .xht it will be parsed with xml pareser and META is ignored.
