Do you see more than 1 opening head tag? Because both firefox and the w3 markup validator claim I already have an open head tag before the first one I can see…

    The meta tag must be in a head tag. If it isn’t, the head tag will be implicitly opened.

    Since your meta tag is before your head opening tag, the head tag is implicitly opened, the meta tag is inserted, and then you explicitly open head.

    To fix this, move the meta tag to somewhere after you open head (but before you close it).
