Same problem in the latest iceweasel. Konquerer doesn't do it right
either. It shows "his prot��", which icedove changes. It should be a
box instead of a ? in a black diamond.
I think it's a bug in the cnn page.
Funny, I hit the site again with iceweasel and I get a blank screen.
Perhaps they are fixing it.
