Too late, code merged. Bugzilla locked. You the user do not matter really to Firefox anymore.

If the encoding is broken, it cannot be fixed by Henri Sivonen auto-detection code, but he can claim he "simplified the menus" as a bullet point to project managers.

This is the gradual but inevitable backslide of Firefox into Chrome.
