UTF-8 for legacy content no longer exists, how to solve?

Firefox has deleted the selection of UTF-8 for legacy contents in the latest version. Now it's causing the garbled problem when I'm using FTP with file names which contain Japanese or Chinese.

I tried to modify the preference of intl.charset.fallback.override to UTF-8 but it didn't work.

How can I solve the problem? Do I have to go back to Firefox 27?

Thanks.

See this thread:

  • bug 910192 - Get rid of intl.charset.default as a localizable pref and deduce the fallback from the locale
  • bug 967981 - Provide some way for addons/prefs to control the default fallback character set
