I want Firfox to keep my settings of Character encoding of Arabic(windows-1256), so that whenever i open Firefox next time, I do not need to use views-> Character Encoding again. I used Tools -> Options -> Content -> Fonts & Colors -> advanced to set my choice. Yet I start FireFox again , my arabic text does not display correctly. I had to manually to go to View-> Character Encoding to do the same.

 Thank you in advance for your concern
