272113 - Firefox briefly shows page mostly in English with a few Taiwanese words, and then reverts to Taiwanese page saying English page cannot be viewed

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[tenacty]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Internet Explorer can handle pages mostly in English and partially in another
language/character set.  Apparently, Firefox cannot, at least for the web pages
I show above.  This should be fixed since there are many users who browse pages
with other character sets, even if the other character set is displayed as
gibberish, as long as the English parts are readable.

A prompt fix will be appreciated.  Tx and brgds.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  browse to either of the above links and they should briefly come on in
English (mostly) and then immediately revert to a Taiwanese error page.  This
does NOT happen in Internet Explorer, where the links above can be viewed normally.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
viewed the partial English pages normally.

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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
