Indeed. And now Firefox saves the page as UTF-8.
Now I found that this concern has already been dealt with at http://superuser.com/questions/765044/how-do-i-view-a-page-with-a-different-character-encoding-in-firefox

To quickly look back to the T-shirt of the parent thread http://i1.cpcache.com/product/27297813/utf8_value_tshirt.jpg
Perhaps like I and a user on this forum page, people have been puzzled to find "utf-8" in the source of the page and concluded prematurely that it's buggy and hard to deal with... while it's so easy.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best regards,

Marcel
