I am using the latest CKEditor 4 with Firefox (version 17.0.1) using the Inline method. When using Firefox an extra "<br>" tag is added to the editor after I enter something into it
For example if I type "Hello" Firefox creates the following:
'<p>hello<br type="_moz"></p>'
In Chrome the same message appears as normal: '<p>hello</p>'
This is hugely problematic as it creates inconsitency and makes it impossible to accurately evaluate the information entered.

That's the way it should be.
That's the way it should be. The right way to retrieve the inline editor data is using getData, not retrieving the DOM innerHTML... or, if innerHTML is to be used, the editor.destroy() must be called first, so all these quirks will be removed.
