I saved the page, which is the best method.
Show source was showing ISO8859-1 data wrongly displayed in UTF-8.
Yes, you're perfectly right, FF displayed IT in UTF-8 instead of 8859-1.
This is called a bug and has been confirmed by many examples.
Why was the confirmed status removed?
It's wasting one's time reporting bugs if confirmed status is removed.
