I don’t think this is a feature
One weirdness that’s cropping up in Firefox 3:
I’ve seen this happen on several sites. These are, so far as I can tell, ordinary FORM buttons; for some reason, they’re being rendered in the wrong character set. Neither reloading the page nor restarting the browser makes the slightest bit of difference, and there’s no corresponding entry in the Firefox Error Console. I didn’t find a reference to this phenomenon at Bugzilla, so I’m pretty well stumped for the moment.

What’s your default character set?
(Boy, if that doesn’t sound like a straight line…)

As it says in the dialog box:
“English/United States [en-us]“

It’s the character set defined for the database. WordPress started it two releases ago. It generates some ugly stuff. Welcome to Web 3.0!

I sent a trouble ticket to the host, who hasn’t seen anything like it before, and besides it does work properly in IE 6, so I’m going to assume that it’s a quirk in my particular Firefox environment.
