That's just a suggestion. My native language is Russian, so I have many troubles with character encodings cos some sites print wrong Content-Encoding & Content-Language headers or don't print them at all, so Firefox is to guess the right encoding. My suggestion is to made an option to "force a specific encoding", because nowadays firefox switches to ISO-8859-1 by default and I have to change the encoding manually every time I refresh a page from russian part of driverheaven.net forums.

Can't you go to View->Character Encoding->Customize List and then set the one you want, and remove ISO-8859-1?
I've tried this, but after refreshing any page (on driverheaven.net) Western (ISO-8859-1) appears in this list anyway. And firefox uses it.

http://www.driverheaven.net/showthread.php?t=62972 is an example of a page which declares ISO-8859-1 but actually contains text in some Russian encoding (I don't know enough Russian to be able to tell which one, but I would guess windows-1251). Personally I would say an enhancement like this is only required in rare situations and would be more appropriate for an extension than the core UI.

What's requested here is... "no matter what (http, meta tag, etc), just use this encoding", right? I'm not sure if it's possible only with a front-end change.

Yes. You're right, Jungshik Shin. That's what i mean. Maybe it's possible to write an extension for it?
