This never happened in Firefox 3.X.

Thread as displayed when first clicked on it:



Same thread, after changing character encoding to "Western" (it was set to "Unicode"):



While I'm typing this, I'm checking the View -> Character Encoding menu and it's set to "Western". Let me type some accents, they should show OK. The problem seems to be when cutting and pasting from some articles. I'll make some more tests in replies to this.

Corações Psicodélicos! Nélida Piñón!

EDIT: That's it! The problem is that the Make post / Edit post page advertises itself as having Western encoding! It should be Unicode!
