I tried this with a PHP script using Firefox 28.0 + Firebug 1.12.7 on Win 
8.1.
It works fine for me in case the script is ISO-8859-1 encoded. I.e. I can 
see the 'ö' in the response header. Though in case the script is UTF-8 
encoded the 'ö' is displayed as 'ö' (which may be a bug in the underlying 
Firefox network APIs). Though I never got an 'o' (without dots).
So is there any chance you could upload your script to reproduce your issue?
