This is not a browser issue. I run Firefox 3.6 as my standard browser, but I see the same question marks instead of double quotes in the provided link in Firefox, IE 8, Avant Browser and Maxthon (based on IE's rendering engine), SeaMonkey 1.1 and 2.0, Safari 4, and Google Chrome 5.
It's not just double quotes that aren't being correctly rendered. An assortment of other punctuation is getting shown as question marks.
The page is using the iso-8859-1 character set, which does include the punctuation symbols, so something else is going on, but I don't have the tools installed in FF at the moment to tell what.
Update:
Installed a tool or two. The site's developer should look at
