I had a problem with some webpages with looking at some swedish letters (å, å,
ö) and I then decided to download the latest trunk
[http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/]. This
went well but the letters did not look right anyway (every inordinary letter was
replaced by a question mark - ?).

This is not happening on every site and also not every time. I thought this
could be when I've had Firefox running for a whole day and that the programme
was tired or something, but no such luck. It's not that simple. I've checked the
language in the browser, but I don't know what to do and if it is something I
can do. 

Example of problematic websites:
http://www.ikanobanken.se/ - only sometimes, and then only when logged in to
secured area. I've hade problems in secured areas also at http://www.seb.se and
http://www.biostaden.se/ .
http://www.genealogi.se/ - there was some problem today.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to the website http://www.ikanobanken.se/
2. Log in
3. Every special letter (å, ä, ä, Å, Ä, Ö, é, É, etc.) is changed into a square
with a question mark in it. I do not know if you can see this, but this is how
it looks: �

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
