Attached file problem.html (deleted) —

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:76.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/76.0

Steps to reproduce:

I visited the web page, https://www.itu.int/md/T17-SG16-200622-TD/en.
I attached the HTML.

Actual results:

Several unexpected "a" are displayed in Firefox 76.0.1 (32 bit and 64 bit).
When using Firefox-esr, I do not encountered this problem.

Expected results:

Unexpected "a" disappears.

This page does not include "charset".
When adding the following line between <head> and </head>,
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
Firefox shows the page correctly. The saved file includes "charset=IBM866" instead
of "windows-1252".

This bug has been fixed in Firefox 78.0.a1 on 24 May 2020.
Thank you very much.
