It seems, as if Firefox doesn't understand how to handle the META-Tag "Content-Type". It ignores the additional "charset" specification.
Example:
If you set your forum to UTF-8 and then post messages with i.e german umlauts, the messages are stored in ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-15 in your database.
If you set firefox via the built-in menu to the correct charset (UTF-8) you can see the bogus characters.
But:
Firefox accepts/understands the HTTP-Header "Content-Type" correctly.
So my solution to this problem/bug was to add additional headers before the html output starts (both, in public and in admin area).
