Maybe you changed something in your character encoding?
You can find this out by renaming prefs.js in your profile or by creating a new profile.

Hello, could you tell what is your configured character encoding? You can find it in View --> Character Encoding (and also check the status of View --> Character Encoding --> Auto-Detect)

Bonjour, pouvez-vous vérifier l'encodage des caractères configurés sur votre mac?
Vous pouvez trouver cette info dans les menu: Affichage --> Encodage des caractères ... faut aussi vérifier le status de Auto-Detect ...

Sinon, comme conseillé par Ria, une solution consiste à renommer prefs.js ... pour que firefox en recréé un nouveau  ... il devrait se trouver dans /Users/votrenomdutilisateur/Library/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/ ou /Users/votrenomdutilisateur/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/ (je crois qu'il s'agit du 2ème ...)
Is there a specific web site this happens on or does it affect every site? If it's just certain sites it's most likely their fault for not specifying the encoding properly.
