It just seems odd as I would have thought if the file was corrupt, surely it just wouldn't open.
The logs are html. This is a pseudo-streaming format. This means that even if the logs are corrupt at some point, stuff at the beginning can be read (and interpretted) correctly. In other words, such corrupted files will still be opened up as if nothing is wrong.... until you indeed come to a certain point in the file where the corruption starts.

In short: it really looks like those files are corrupted indeed.
Try to open them in notepad. If you see the same garbage, you know 100% for sure they are corrupted (in case it is a FireFox bug, but I very highly doubt that).

Note: trying to view them in Messenger Plus! Log Viewer will not help (they are afterall just HTML files).
