Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I'm using Firefox 3 Beta 4 provided with Hardy.

When navigating to a Japanese page using UTF-8 encoding, rendering issues are experienced. It's difficult to detail the issue in writing, so I've linked a number of screenshots with steps to reproduce the bug.

This appears to effect only Japanese pages using UTF-8. Other non-Western languages using UTF-8 (Arabic, Korean, Chinese, etc.) render with no trouble. Additionally, pages using other Japanese encodings (EUC-JP, Shift_JIS, ISO-2022-JP) render properly.
