My apostrophes and other random symbols aren't being encoded properly with the Firefox 4 upgrade and displaying a ’ symbol. Please see screenshot: http://awesomescreenshot.com/0a4aj9qcd

However, in Safari, I have no issues.

My character encoding is set to Western (ISO-8859-1)

@AlmogBaku We have seen this problem in the past, and found that it caused by a broken Arial fonts. Restoring the fonts to the default fonts should solve this issue.
