Firefox sets wrong encoding to directory listings?

So, as far as I understand, Apache should be sending it with UTF-8
encoding as .html file (as opposed to e.g. index.xhtml, but I
tried .html as well) and Firefox should either detect the character
settings correctly or use the setting in metatags.

Here are the differences between various files which I discovered via
Page Info in Firefox:

File             Type                    Encoding
----------------------------------------------------
index.xhtml      application/xhtml+xml   UTF-8
index.html       text/html               UTF-8
dir. listing     text/html               ISO-8859-1

So, once again the basic question. Where is the problem? Do I need to
add some additional directive to Apache configuration to force it to use
UTF-8 encoding for directory listings or is it Firefox or Apache bug?

Thanks,
Martin
