FYI 1) This bug, that admittedly does not hit everyone, has been confirmed by some 6 persons on Launchpad for Ubuntu. So, why 'unconfirmed'?
2) I reported it for release 3.x, I upgraded to release 15 and the bug is still there 3) Since then, I noticed a highly repeatable test: if I open a plain text file (not HTML), Firefox consistently displays with the Cyrillic codepage 4) Why Cyrillic? a) because I have it configured in View/Character encoding selections? b) because I sometimes use Cyrillic? c) ... ? 5) That may be the reason why it is the codepage in which *some* HTML pages are erroneously displayed 4) there are at least 2 reason why I may report the bug more than others a) not many Western characters users have Cyrillic configured and use it b) I don't just shrug 5) I'm available to give more information to a developer or to conduct nondestructive tests if that's what solving a bug means -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/228988 Title: Firefox can display a page with the wrong default encoding To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/228988/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
