Does Firefox 4.0.1 actually use the <!DOCTYPE statement?

I have an html page that begins with: 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

The web browsers starting with IE8 and older handle the web page, including Firefox 4.0.1, but IE9 does not work. I would like for Firefox 4.0.1 use the standards as specified in the dtd file so I can use the error console to see that html statements do not conform to the dtd standards.

Thanks

A good place to ask questions and advice about web development is at the mozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum.
The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues.
You need to register at the mozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.
