Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Firefox 3.0.3
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092510 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.3
Standard version installed with Ubuntu
When browsing FTP servers containing fies and folders in Cyrillic Windows 1251 codepage, the charset is
detected incorrectly.
1) It looks in wrong symbols.
2) View -Character encoding = Western (ISO-8859-1)
3) I cannot download file - got file not found error
4) I cannot open folder - got wrong folder name error.
I can manually change Character encoding to Windows 1251, then it shows filenames correctly.
But I cannot do 3) and 4) anyway.
When page is re-loaded, codepage goes back to Western (ISO-8859-1)
I set up View - Character encoding - Auto-detect = Russian,
I modified View - Character encoding - Customise list to include RU codepages and removed Western (ISO-8859-1) from the list.
It did not help.

I can confirm this bug for Ubuntu 8.04
Also, if i use nautilus for ftp connections, I can browse folders and download files, but the folder names are absolutely unreadable.
