This is happening only on local files? Perhaps FF is expecting that brain
damaged byte order mark to recognize the file as UTF-8?
When the data come over HTTP there are other out-of-band hints to communicate
the encoding.
Try editing the file with some Microsoft cra^H^H^H text editor and saving
as "Unicode": that might insert the BOM at the beginning.
Just a shot in the dark.
