Mozilla Firefox Encoding Issues

Kenji Miyamoto · 05-27-2005, 05:42 PM

I can't seem to set the default encoding for Firefox to UTF-8. I've tried setting the default under "Fonts & Colors" and changing the order under "Customize List". I really need the default of Unicode. How can I set it?

did you set the LANG and language environment variables?
example for bash(ie ~/.bash_profile)

Code:

export LANG=en_US.UTF8
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF8

Could I set both variables to two languages?

I don't think so but i never tried. These two variables are set to en_US on my system.
