If I open a webpage encoded with US-ASCII, then FireFox displays it as ISO-8859-1 which means it uses the MSB. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a webpage that is served with content-encoding "US-ASCII" 2.set the MSB on some of the bytes 3.open the page Actual Results: ISO-8859-1 characters displayed when MSB is set Expected Results: ASCII characters displayed even when MSB is set
