Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

After an upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy (via update-manager -d), firefox (2.0.0.6+2-0ubuntu4) doesn't display correctly pages with an utf-8 charset: for example, every accented letters (è, é, à) looks like it's a cyrillic character instead of the correct western character! This doesn't happen if I visit a site with a iso-8851-1 charset.

This problem looks like it's firefox specific, because other applications work well.

In this image is an example of the differences between firefox and firefox granparadiso when I look a page with an utf-8 encoding ( http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padova ).

Please file anew bug report against firefox-3.0 if its not gone in ff3. Firefox-2 is nearing EOS and this doesn't fit the requirements of an SRU update.
