Wouldn't it be nice to have a Universal option, but other people asked the same question, and Universal used to exist but was removed! So if someone's site has a mixture of Greek and Japanese I can't set the default to Universal and FF doesn't autodetect. Wouldn't it be nice to have an (on) option, but other people asked the same question and got no answer. The options in Auto detect are (off), Japanese, Russian, and Ukrainian. "In View > Character Encoding > Auto detect can be selected to change this." The meta tag is the same as before:īut FF doesn't obey it, FF doesn't autodetect, FF displays mojibake. Clicking on the View menu, pointing the mouse cursor at the Character Encoding menu entry, FF 33.0 says that the encoding it's using is Western not Unicode. How can I set auto-detect to use information from the web page, and to turn on auto-detection for web sites that don't say? This part probably didn't help but shouldn't hurt too much: but anyway, I don't think one of Japan's largest transportation companies will let one of their smallest personal individual customers barge in and reprogram their web server. I'm not sure what I should change it to, because looking at the page again it seems that it already says Unicode. I've read a few expert opinions that I should change the web server to. If I understand correctly there used to be an option View - Character Encoding - Universal, but that option was removed? WTF? Hypothetically even if it helped Japanese it wouldn't help Greek. View - Character Encoding - Auto-detect is off, but even if I set that to Japanese it doesn't help. I shouldn't have to teach it to ordinary users. I can go to the View menu, Character Encoding, and select Japanese, but this should not be necessary. It shouldn't matter whether the web page is encoded in ShiftJIS, EUC, raw JIS (though that's rare), or UTF8 all of them should be easy to autodetect.
