When I try to bring up myspace.com the characters in many of the labels are displayed incorrectly. Opera displays the page correctly. Even viewing the page source the characters are in error:

Firefox: <meta name="keywords" content="MySpace,マイスペース,音楽,無料, </p><p>Opera: <meta name=" keywords"="" allow="" pages="" to="" use="" their="" own="" fonts"="" and="" that="" didn't="" change="" anything="" either.="" <="" p="">

I unchecked "Allow pages to use their own fonts" and that didn't change anything either.
