Firefox recently reset on me and I lost all of my previous settings. After the reset, I noticed magnet links are no longer copying Japanese to qBittorrent. The torrent name in qBittorrent shows up as a bunch of ??? instead of Japanese characters. I've tested a few things:

- It's definitely Firefox, links work fine in Chrome, or if I download them. - Firefox displays Japanese just fine, I even tried installing a language pack - This was working prior to Firefox dying on me

What do you mean firefox reset? FYI Chrome has auto translation built in and will translate languages. I know because I use it. Firefox by default doesn't do this unless your using the browser specific to the language. Did you uninstall and reinstall the language pack.
