(I filed this one back in 2008 or 2009 and the bug is still there! Someone suggested that this is a Window bug, but I don't think so!)

After running FF for a few days, the title bar starts to display Chinese characters (UTF-8) as ???? (garbage). When I open a new browser window, the new window does NOT have the problem!

I have a screen shot!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run FF for few-several days with several tabs.
2. Access any website with UTF-8 characters in title bar (ex. http://violinist.hk/)
3. Notice the ????? (question mark garbage) in title bar



I have a screenshot of this. My email address is peter.kahl@dezzignz.com
