 Replying to [comment:15 mikeperry]:
 > Ok, I set intl.charset.default to windows-1252 in our prefs override
 file. This should appear first in 3.6-beta, but maybe a nightly at
 https://people.torproject.org/~linus/builds/ will appear first.

 Thanks. It occurs to me that this is one of the things that support wants
 to be advised of, because it will potentially break the rendering of some
 pages.
