Public bug reported: On web pages that doesn't specify their encoding, Firefox has begun making bad guesses where it made previously made better ones.
For example, when viewing <http://www.angelfire.com/nt2/tidsskrift/stickint.html>, Firefox uses UTF-8, which results in a lot of "�". Manually switching to ISO-8859-1 makes the page look fine.
