In the menu "View :: Character Encoding" I would expect to choose:
EITHER Auto-detect OR a specific encoding
further I would expect FF to have a checkbox ticked next to ONE SINGLE ITEM which would be the one setting that is currently in use.
Today neither or these expectations are fulfilled. Questions:
1. Why is there alternatives like "Japanese", "Korean" and so on under the auto-detect sub-menu? Maybe this is obvious to hardcore mozilla techies but for the typical end-user is just makes no sense.
2. Suppose I have checked "View :: Char enc :: Unicode" and then selects "View :: Char enc :: Auto-detect :: Universal". Now suddenly both of these are checked, what does that mean?
This menu is by no means intuitive.
Reproducible: Always
