I dont know whether users are facing similar problem mentioned in following mail when visiting other Indian language sites.

If so please let me know the websites and required character encoding, I will update my extension for that sites also.

One of the major issue with Mozilla as well as Firebird Browsers is the need for switching the Character Encoding while visiting Malayalam newspaper sites. In GNU/Linux we can use Galeon, But when I ask many MS-Windows users (mainly NRI's) to try an open source alternative to IE, that is "Firebird" ( http://www.mozilla.org/products/firebird/ ) this becomes a major issue for them. No NRI want to use one browser for Malayalam sites and other for English sites. So they will finally end up in IE.

So I created in an extension to just do the Character Encoding switching automatically. Here is the install link http://downloads.mozdev.org/quicktools/AutoCharacterCoding.xpi (source included, works for Mozilla and Firebird, on both GNU/Linux and MS-Windows)

sites handled now are http://www.malayalamanorama.com/ http://www.deepika.com/ http://www.deshabhimani.com/

for http://www.mathrubhumi.com/ from menu do "View/Force Auto Font" once. Or open the links in the new tab

http://www.keralakaumudi.com/ (no need for my extension)

If there are other sites which give problem please let me know. I can also do same thing for other indian languages

Warning: This is not a replacement for fonts, and extension wont download fonts by itself. You should download/install font by yourself.

PS: After installing only GUI difference you see is menu item "View/Force Auto Font". And a Malayalam "A Ka" toolbar button in Firebird toolbar customization screen.
