1) This bug, that admittedly does not hit everyone, has been confirmed by some 6 persons on Launchpad for Ubuntu. So, why 'unconfirmed'?
2) I reported it for release 3.x, I upgraded to release 15 and the bug is still there
3) Since then, I noticed a highly repeatable test: if I open a plain text file (not HTML), Firefox consistently displays with the Cyrillic codepage
4) Why Cyrillic?
a) because I have it configured in View/Character encoding selections?
b) because I sometimes use Cyrillic?
c) ... ?
5) That may be the reason why it is the codepage in which *some* HTML pages are erroneously displayed
4) there are at least 2 reason why I may report the bug more than others
a) not many Western characters users have Cyrillic configured and use it
b) I don't just shrug
5) I'm available to give more information to a developer or to conduct nondestructive tests if that's what solving a bug means
