After you submit the form, the form does not remember the character coding was 
before.  

For example, 
1. Default charset is Western (ISO-8859-1)
2. Go to above url
3. Changed the character coding to Japanese (Shift_JIS)
4. Type any Japanese character in the forms and click on submit

Japanese characters are displayed as garbage.

When you check the character coding menu, the menu Western (ISO-8859-1) is 
marked.  In 6.21, Japanese (Shift_JIS) is marked and displayed correctly.

I think this problem was resolved by fixing bug 162239, and it not reproducible
on latest branch/trunk build.

The issue is still reproducible on the latest Firefox Release (46.0, Build ID 20160421124000) and the latest Nightly (49.0a1, Build ID 20160427030215). I can confirm that the described behavior from comment 1 is still an issue.

Although I cannot find same issue, I believe that this issue is already fixed before removing encoding menu.
