Description Dan Goff 2004-12-07 04:13:47 UTC
Randomly, Firefox (net-www/mozilla-firefox-bin-1.0) will incorrectly render certain web sites.  Instead of the expected output, the browser will display characters such as: �rUH�)?��XR�>zǎ඘픰

Reloading the page multiple times will sometimes generate the expected output, othertimes the browser must be restarted.

Some sample websites that are affected:
http://www.google.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
http://www.livejournal.com
http://slashdot.org

Stale bug, reopen if this is still an issue with up-to-date ebuild versions.
