when I surfed in windows xp sp3 with firefox 15.01 over http://kb.dsqq.cn/html/2012-09/12/content_208780.htm, Chinese language can't be displayed properly.
The problem is still there even though the program was re-installed. When the site as the URL indicates is surfed, the simplified Chinese can't be displayed properly. I have tried but failed to rectify it. I use firefox 15.0.1 desktop and windows xp pro xp3 simplified genuine version.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
Here is the screenshot.
Do you mean that some characters aren't displayed and show as an empty square instead?
That may be a server problem.
The page is send as Content-Type: text/html; charset=GB2312, but doesn't look good with that encoding.
If I switch the character encoding to UTF-8 then Firefox displays it fine AFAICT comparing with Google Chrome.
The main file has a meta tag to set the encoding to UTF-8, but if the server sends a content encoding then Firefox always uses that and ignores the setting in the meta tag or a byte order mark (BOM) at the start of the file.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
- Firefox > Web Developer > Character Encoding
- View > Character Encoding
