Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

The page starts with the definition of XHTML-Compliance:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!doctype public "-//w3c//dtd xhtml 1.0 transitional//en"
 "http://www.w3.org/tr/xhtml1/Dtd/xhtml1-transitional.dtd" />
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="de" lang="de">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">

The page is rendered with the correct encoding only after explicit setting the
language/encoding over the menu - but returns to UTF-8 on a reload-page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make a small page starting as above and containg some german diacritic vocals
(Umlaute) like ä ö ü Ä Ö Ü or ß - (you may cut and paste this).
2.look at it with Firebird
3.use menu: view-coding to change
4. reload 


Expected Results:  
recognize the correct encoding.
It works for me in:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040120 Firebird/0.8.0+

Page shows up correctly, encoding is listed as ISO-8859-1 in the Page Info screen.

Could you try on a more recent build?

p.s. I think the public identifier part of a doctype declaration ("-//w3c//dtd
xhtml 1.0 transitional//en") is case sensitive, so don't transform that part to
lower case, and you are missing the name of the root element (html) from the
declaration.
Closing as WORKSFORME since there has been no further response. Reporter please
reopen the bug if you can still reproduce it on a recent build:
