It works in Internet Explorer? So we need to think of implementing the same in firefox or mozilla . //Vamsi (In reply to comment #1) > Doesn't work in Opera 9.25 either, nor Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; > en-US; rv:1.9b3pre) Gecko/2008012104 Minefield/3.0b3pre ID:2008012104 > > And it doesn't use a doctype, and probably has lots of errors in. > http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%253A%252F%252Feenadu.net%252F&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&group=0 > > Tech Evang? >

If the website doesn't follow the rules, then the website probably won't work in Firefox. It is not Firefox's job to guess how other browsers may handle non-standard html and implement crazy schemes to match them. Having said that, we really need to figure out exactly why Firefox is showing a different result to IE so we can understand who is at fault and triage this bug appropriately.
Firefox chooses windows-1252 as character encoding here using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061017 Firefox/3.0 None of the auto-detect options are able to find a suitable character encoding. The site suggests windows-1252 and iso-8859-1 as "the correct encoding", multiple times outside the <head> even. Apparently, no information is given in the HTTP headers for this? Imo, in cases such as these Firefox should default to whatever encoding it is able to auto-detect. Not that it would help in this specific case.
