Somehow int.charset.detector got switched to ukprob -- Which screws with font rendering. What setting controls it? What was the basic value for English-language Firefox? What is the best value to avoid font rendering trouble?

I'd encountered problems with certain pages turning up gibberish, and switched the auto-detect settings to change that.

Did you change the Text Encoding Auto-Detect setting to a specific setting or did you turn it off?

ukprob means that Ukraine is selected, so you may get Cyrillic text is cases where a Windows encoding is specified.

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required) where you encounter encoding issues?

I turned it back off.

I noted a couple sites in comments 8 and 14 here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=590461
