Firefox 5 having encoding (utf8) problems? Twitter looks messed up...
I'm really clueless why the twitter site (among others) looks so messed up?
Does Firefox have problems with encoding and displaying utf-8 websites correctly? I already had this problem with Firefox 4 but not with older versions... I can't believe they launch a new browser version with utf-8 problems?
Am I the only one having this problem?
Help!

Can you attach a screenshot?
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
You may have a problem with old versions of the Helvetica fonts installed on your computer.
Here's the screenshot.
Yes, I was already expecting to see something like that.
This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica font or other fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.
There have also been fonts with a Chinese name reported that identify themselves as Helvetica, so check that as well.
