I have an HTML document stored in a file, with a UTF-8 encoding, and I want my extension to display this file in the browser, so I call loadURIWithFlags('file://' + file.path, flags, null, 'UTF-8', null); but it loads it as ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8.

the HTML script tag and non-JS content - Firefox

It appears this code will request the file in Chrome and IE but not in Firefox. <script type="text/my-custom-mime-type" src="test.ashx"> </script> Is there a some spec that says browsers should only process JavaScript related mime-types?
