1332396 - [about:config] Unable to store non latin-1 characters in about:config

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Theme and Visual Design, defect, P5)

Description

[Tomer Cohen :tomer]

Attachment: Screenshot

Steps to reproduce:
a. open about:config
b. create a new preference, name it "test" and set its type to string. 
c. type a value that is not latin1. For example, in the attached screenshot I have used "שלום עולם" which is Hello World in Hebrew.

Actual result:
Text is unreadable. In my case, it stored as "éÜÕÝ âÕÜÝ".

Expected result:
Text should be shown as typed.
