you can try the following:

type "about:config" into iceweasel's address bar (without the quotes of
course), then type "charset" into the config's search bar. Several options
should appear. Look for the key "intl.charset.default". Is the value
already set to "UTF-8"? If not, double-click the current value and change
it to UTF-8 , this should hopefully fix it.

Best regards

Michael

You humans have that emotional need to express gratitude.  "You're
