I get invoices as pdf files. Internet Explorer has no problem reading e.g. 2.500,00 as two thousand five hundred, but when I use Firefox it comes out as 2?500,00. Same thing happens with the scandinavian letters å ä ö.

Check the encoding that is used to display those pages .

You probably need to set it to Western (ISO-8859-1).

Firefox doesn't read PDF files, it uses a PDF reader plugin.

Thanks cor-el! You led me in the right direction. Problem was gone when I changed to "Universal".
