Notan Have you tried: View/character encoding/More encodings/User defined/ then going back and manually selecting Western ISO? I just did it and it seemed to hold. My default was also UTF-8, fwiw..... Stew

In v1.5, it's Tools | Options | Content | Advanced... While Default Character Encoding says "Western (ISO-8859-1)," it still shows up as Unicode while FF is running. Thanks, anyway! Notan
