The Firefox 89 menu panel no longer has a Text Encoding submenu. It is still available in the Menu bar View menu and as an optional toolbar button.

The ''Text Encoding'' menu item was removed from the Firefox menu [[Image:Fx89MenuButton]] panel in [[Find what version of Firefox you are using|Firefox version]] 89. Instead, you can use the Menu bar{for not mac}, [[Restore the Menu bar in Firefox|when the Menu bar is enabled]],{/for} by clicking {menu View} and selecting {for fx91}{menu Repair Text Encoding}{/for}{for not fx91}{menu Text Encoding}{/for} from the drop-down menu. {for win,linux}You can press and release the {key Alt} key to temporarily show the Menu bar.{/for} ;{for not fx91}[[Image:Fx90View-TextEncoding]]<!-- image page: https://hsivonen.com/test/charset/unlabeled-legacy/ja-Shift_JIS.htm --> {/for}{for fx91}[[Image:Fx91View-RepairTextEncoding]]{/for} {note}'''Note:''' On most modern pages, the {for fx91}{menu Repair Text Encoding}{/for}{for not fx91}{menu Text Encoding}{/for} menu item will be greyed-out because character encoding changes are not supported.<!-- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1706566#c5 --> {/note} {for fx91}Firefox version 91 introduces a new "Repair Text Encoding" feature.
