    Default Firefox 3.0 incompatible with Chinese text?

    Is anyone running the latest version Firefox? I just installed it, and realized that it cannot display a wide array of Chinese characters. Do not install if you are thinking about it.

    Did it ever make the world record for having the most downloads or whatever?

    I am running on Ff3, Chinese characters are showing up fine on my pc actually.
    I do have problems with some Chinese sites not displaying properly, but I don't think it is cause of Ff3, since the same problem exists in IE and Opera.

    it's not firefox, I think it's just the font package, I have firefox 3 on 4 computers, only one of them display the chinese characters correctly, that is also the only one that runs vista, the rest of them runs XP.

    I have Firefox 3 on XP. It displays both traditional and simplified Chinese characters without any problem.

    I have the same problem. I'm not sure what version of Firefox we're running on my laptop at home, but no matter what option I select I can't get Chinese characters to display.
