Encoding autodetection chooses ISO-8859-5 instead of UTF-8
A certain site producing HTML in UTF-8 without meta tags. The Firefox detects the encoding as ISO-8859-5, an absolutely dead and useless 'standard'. How to exclude it from the autodetection and maki it proper unicode?

It's a strange guess, if it's a guess. Are you sure the server isn't sending a header specifying that encoding? To view the content-type header, you can use an add-on (or if it's not a secure page, an external proxy):
- Live HTTP Headers extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/live-http-headers/
- Firebug extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/firebug/
- Fiddler debugging proxy: http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/
