Sounds to me like a character encoding issue. Make sure that Chromium
and Firefox are both set to the same encoding. It should be Unicode,
but you never know.
Also, check the HTML files to see what character set they declare. E.g.,
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It could be that they declare one thing, then use another. Sometimes
several others. :-( Firefox (and I assume [*cough-cough*] Chromium)
will set their encoding to match what the file declares. Which then
gets fouled up when they hit the wrongly-encoded text. You might try
selecting different encodings in Firefox, just to see what happens.
Hope this helps.
