Hi, as Notepad++ sticks formatting code into things it is possible that is the reason. Firefox does not do UTF8 but not sure as to doing ascii just know that it does stick formatting in to the page.

There is an Encoding menu under the Format menu somewhere. Could you check in the lower right corner of Notepad++ what character encoding is being used for your documents. Some encodings, particularly UTF-16 encodings,

Best I can do at the moment as do not use notepad++
