Where does this problem appear -- title bar, tab bar, or both? Can you attach a PNG screenshot?

I see this problem frequently. It only started after I installed language support for Japanese and Korean (I have to look, but I may have Chinese installed) on Windows XP and Firefox. It appears in the title bar of the window.

(In reply to comment #3) > Created an attachment (id=380017) [details] > Screenshot showing asian characters in window title BTW I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1 on Windows XP SP3 I also have problems with Agent pasting text into Skype chat, where all the characters turn Japanese.
This is just the title bar. There are no other occurrences in any other parts of the screen.

Most likely, the bytes of the title text are being misinterpreted as UTF-16. But I have no idea why that would happen.
