  Here’s an issue that happens when both IE and Firefox are used to edit the same SharePoint 2010 list. When

  editing a list item in Firefox, the content can be cluttered by formatting tags even though formatting

  options are not available. This happens when the column is of the ‘Multiple lines of text’ info type

  specified to allow ‘Rich text’ and the content was entered using IE, where the rich text features are

  available. Of course, this won’t happen if everyone always uses the same browser. An easy workaround is to

  change the column setting to allow ‘Enhanced text rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and

  hyperlinks)’. By default, Tasks and Issue Tracking lists use the ‘Rich text’ setting for the Description

  column. There may be others.
