Comment 12 for bug 228988

OK, lets give it a try, taking small steps. Maybe that works better.

When I first visit http://atilf.atilf.fr/tlf.htm in firefox 3 I get a
page the is properly displayed. ffox automatically detected windows
1252. Is that the wrong encoding? the accents look fine.

Now i go some site and and set UTF-8 explicitly (Menu -> View ->
Character Encoding -> UTF-8); then visit the site above and all works
fine.

Now I visit that site, clear the location bar, hit enter ... nothing
happens -> the browser is still on that page - its not blank or
anything, so its obvious that the user is _still_ on that page. Now i
set it to UTF-8 and the page breaks. Reloading that page will remember
your decision to mark it as UTF-8 before. I don't see whats wrong
about this.

Reopening the ffox 3 part.

If there is an issue at all it will definitly not be fixed in ffox 2
release series ...
