That's the meaning of 'may', 'Reproducible: Sometimes' and comments on 
Launchpad. The occurrence seems to depend on the system used, on the page and 
on some circumstances. The choice of this particular example is because it 
always failed for me.  But that's never for others. At least 7 people have 
confirmed to have seen something like this.   But most people just shudder.

The error is not in that page.  I said "Click on 'le TLF1' in that window" and 
the error is in a page like this
http://194.214.124.200/dendien/scripts/tlfiv5/xxx.exe?mthk=1;forced=40;s=2807581110;mot=ERREUR;pot=40,53,41,42,43,44,46;from=atilf,51,2807581110;ru=no;

Correct. No tlfi page does it. And that why I said about the second page that 
it "displays ISO8859-1 as UTF-8". That is the problem. It may probably affect 
only pages without character set definitions.
BTW, specifying the character set in HTTP is a crazy invention because it means 
that a program storing a page must modify it (and Firefox fails to do that).
> Can you reproduce using a clean profile?
Yes, it's now four years that I'm doing that on request. Somebody should 
conclude that the problem should be analyzed, not watched.

I said this. Isn't it what you mean?

These systems were just installed or very little used (just for some 
installations and tests), Ubuntu ran the Firefox version that came with it and 
the latest Firefox was installed in Windows.

This troubleshooting article is indecent.  Asking naive people to erase all the 
cookies that were recorded to ease their life and then to make tests in a blank 
Firefox profile sounds like a bad joke.

In my running system I installed 3.6.12 and I checked that the problem still 
occurs in a blank profile.
> What's selected in View -> Character Encoding -> Autodetect?
That is a feature that is totally undocumented, that nobody understands [I have 
some good guesses], that everybody and his dog use to try to solve their 
problems the wrong way and that shouldn't exist.
Firefox is not supposed to autodetect anything and mu setting is most evidently 
(off).

Shall I say спасибо и пака?
