User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040415 Firefox/0.8.0+ Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040415 Firefox/0.8.0+ I have looked around and there is no way to change the default character encoding used for viewing pages, from the UI. Some sites, such as Google, seem to take the user prefered encoding (sent out with request, I believe) and then send back the pages encoded in that format. Since my browser default to ISO-8859-1, it means thay any search results containing non-roman characters aren't displayed correctly. It would be nice to be able to change the default encoding - this is possible with Mozilla. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
view->character encoding?

This was not there in the version in which I reported the issues against. I can confirm that it is present in 1.0PR on MacOS X.
sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
