Chosen solution

Usually this is caused by overriding website fonts with a standard set of fonts. You can check for and undo that change on the Options page:

"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content

Click the "Advanced" button and if the checkbox for "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above" is empty, go ahead and check it. Then OK that change.

If you reload Yahoo mail, do the icons display?

Please update to the current Firefox 41.0.1 release.

  • Help > About Firefox

Firefox 41 will allow icon fonts that use PUA code points to work with the font setting in "Options/Preferences > Content > Colors" disabled. When code points on another Unicode plane are used then you will still see the little boxes with the hex code.
