Certain website links displayed as weird symbols
That's part of what this page is displayed as in my firefox browser. IE can open the site with no problems. I have accessed the site around a week before and it worked fine. Download links to filesonic does not work.

That happens if (F10) View > Character Encoding > UTF-16 is selected.
Switch to UT_8 and it becomes this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <TITLE>Trade Unionism</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY TEXT="#000000" BGCOLOR="#FFCC99" LINK="#0000FF" VLINK="#FF66CC"> <!-- following code added by server. PLEASE REMOVE --> <!-- preceding code added by server. PLEASE REMOVE --> <BR> <A HREF="indx1.htm#pannekoek"><IMG SRC="author3.gif" WIDTH="46" HEIGHT="45" ALIGN="bottom" ALT="This Author " BORDER="0" 0
Also Remove Test Pilot extension. It has been reported as causing various malfunctioning problems in Firefox.
Uninstalling Add-ons
Cannot Uninstall an Add-on
Check and tell if its working.
Weird... Test Pilot wasn't the cause.
I've found my solution but, it turns out that I'm using UT_8 encoding at the time the problem appeared, I switched to UT_16 which caused this page to be displayed in the same weird way, switched back to UT_8 and all other pages which originally have problems were displaying correctly.
Is this a bug?

Through testing I've found switching to UT_8 does fix the problem.
Where did you make the switch to UTF-16?
Did you change the default from Western (ISO-8859-1)?
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Default Character Encoding
As I posted above, if you see UTF-16 selected in View > Character Encoding then you get that problem on pages that have UTF-8 or Western encoding.
