If you go into: View -> Character Coding -> Customize... and press "Cancel" the current webpage loaded in Mozilla is reloaded fx clearing all text input fields, etc. The page should not be reloaded when you press Cancel

OK, Cata thanks for the valuable hint! This was much easier than I thought, which saved some deep-sea fishing in the event processing. The problem is essentially that we were setting a default charset and hence reloading every time. This is a consequence of the "Customize..." menu item being a "charset command" by the virtue of residing in the charset menu. I addressed it by defining a new name ID and catching it in a modified charsetOverlay.js as Cata suggested. The problem would go away and the fix rendered superfluous, if the charset customization moves to the pref window. I'll try to address the move separately this week. Thanks everyone!
