My Windows XP (SP3) has the following regional options:
Default Encoding: Hebrew
Location: Japan
(Standards and formats: Japanese)
And I tried to installed Firefox in Simplified Chinese.

I did manage to install it properly by guessing the location of the 'next' button, and it works great now.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Download Firefox 3
2.Try to install it over Firefox 2

Actual Results:  
All the Chinese text in the installer appears as complete gibberish, with letterlike symbols and Hebrew letters

Expected Results:  
Use UTF-16 as the code page for the installer and avoid all such problems.
