Well, that Firefox is indeed Indic enabled. I have told you to be
patient with this.

Those bugs exist for me too, and I am running an Indic enabled Firefox.
So the issue is with the encoding of that site and not the browser.

Well, that specific Vande Mataram text is buggy even for me. So I would
blame the site for that, not the browser.

We all are trying to help, isn't it?  Gora is not pulling your leg or
something. Why are you becoming enraged with this? We all face issues
every now and then, and we try to solve those issues patiently instead
of blasting people who suggest possible solutions.

Yes, I agree. And that applies to you too. So please be patient and I
will get some Malayalam text for you to test.

Regards,
BG
