    I don't even know why Mozilla didn't put encoding options at least under preference, but fortunately this extension is great choice as replacement for that removed feature.

    I love archaic features so much, that I'm even using splitted reload and stop buttons, panorama tabs, additional toolbars and also spaces and separators.

    Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but in my case, this addon never works: old encoding always stays, regardless of my choice of new encoding.

    Please file an issue over at https://github.com/nneonneo/firefox-charset-extension/issues so I can take a look at what's going on. Also note that the extension cannot function on addons.mozilla.org for security reasons. You can always try "UTF-16-LE" if you want to verify the extension works (on the vast majority of pages, it should turn into gibberish).

    Works well, but you need to make it visible in add-on settings.

    It doesn't correct the website i need to correct, but i think it's Firefox fault and not this extension. i tried every option possible

    It doesn't work at all, but this extension shouldn't exist in the first place. The native menu option worked perfectly fine until the Mozilla devs removed it for the typical "Stack Overflow" reason: "You shouldn't need that."

    Cool. It works. UI is very nice.
    But why Mozilla delete the default character encoding tool?
