   Unable to remove undesirable text that has mysteriously shown up on site.
   In the top left on all pages it says "page contents" and there is a "<" in the body of every page as well.

   I have tried to identify the element with FireBug tool but am unable to.
   Here is a link to the site, http://majesticlocs.ca

   How can I find the location of these texts and remove them?

   Thank you!

   Try disabling plugins to explore whether any are responsible.

   - Maybe you will find it in your theme files -> header (it depends on your theme)
   - search for "page contents"
   - you will find it directly after the javascript-code
   - firebug will help you

   other problem with "<":

   it's the same thing. look in your theme files and delete it. take firebug for finding this string.

   that's all.

   Thanks
   I was able to find and remove the "page contents" in header.php
   However I was not able to find "&lt" at all. Not even with firebug.
   Can you point me in the right direction?

   Whatever you changed in the header.php file, looks like it removed some important tags -- see the resulting errors:

   http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmajesticlocs.ca%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

   The errant < is in this code just above the footer section:
   

   </div>
   <
   <div class="clear"></div>
   <div id="footer" class="clearfix">
