User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0 Build ID: 20170125094131 Steps to reproduce: The web page: http://nj.homelinux.net/canaltowns/index.html contains utf-8 characters, passes validation at https://validator.w3.org as valid XHTML 1.0 Strict, and starts with: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> But Firefox 51.0.1 (64-bit) ignores the encoding, also ignores the fact that utf-8 is the default anyway, and arbitrarily decides to render it with "Text Encoding: windows-1252" which produces garbage. Actual results: TónglÇ WÅ«zhèn ZhÅuzhuÄng Expected results: Tónglǐ Wūzhèn Zhōuzhuāng [as rendered by Google Chrome]
