User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0 Build ID: 20110811165603 Steps to reproduce: Invoked www.mein-klatsch.de/klatsch.html. Encoding is correctly specified in html header but "é" are displayed incorrectly. Actual results: Incorrect display of umlaut "é". Expected results: Correct display of umlaut. Only experienced this on OSX 10.6.7 so far. Will verify this on other plattforms such as Linux and Windows as soon as I have the time.
Confirmed correct HTML encoding of web page with Safari and Chrome.
Also affects title in browser tab not just content.

wfm FF 6.0 and Seamonkey trunk
OpenSuse 11.04 (64 bit, kernel 2.36.7) FF 6.0 & 5.0 checks out OK. Will confirm on Windows ASAP.
Seamonkey 2.3 on OSX checks out OK as well. So does Seamonkey 2.0.14 on OpenSuse (same spec. as above). Could this be an FF OSX-related issue?
More and more this seems to be the case. Couldn't reproduce the bug either on FF 6.0 running on Win7 (32bit SP1) or SM 2.3 on the same plattform. Neither on Iceweasel 3.0.6 (on Debian 5.0.8 64 Bit).
Wfm also on SM 2.3 on OpenSuse (cf. spec above).
Seems to work on macOS these days.
