IE looks at the META tag, which you have.
FF looks at the HTTP headers, which you probably do not have:
<?php
  //this should be your very first line:
  header("Content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1");
?>

It seems to me that you would want UTF-8 or some other charset, not
ISO-8859-1, to get the accent...

So IE is actually doing what you asked, and FF is "guessing" you
really wanted that accented E and using UTF-8, I think.

I'm NOT Unicode-savvy, really, but this is my best guess.
