I recently updated my Adobe Reader from 7 to 9.4, and since doing so, Firefox no longer displays Chinese characters in the title bar. Instead, I now only see question marks.

I've added Chinese to the preferred languages and also tried switching the browser's text to Unicode, but neither of these has made a difference.

It's certainly a minor issue, but if anyone knows what to do, I'd greatly appreciate the help!

Thanks!

A possible cause is that Firefox has a problem with the (system) font that is used to display the Chinese characters on the title bar.

Were any new fonts installed recently?

You can try to use the system file checker to see if there are any problems with font files.
