Occasionally I need to try various character encoding so the characters look correctly. However, with the new Firefox 4 interface, the only place I can find to do that is to re-enable the old style Menu Bar then select View->Character Encoding

You can find the Character Encoding in the Firefox > Web Developer sub menu.
