Icon/Button/Navigation Pictures Don't Load

Here's a screen grab of my issue: https://flic.kr/p/ovBaLB

On many websites, I can't see the pictures on what I'm guessing are referred to as icons or buttons. Some of them link to YouTube/Facebook/etc, while others are for navigation - left/right/etc.

Any help is appreciated. :)

Chosen solution

The missing icons are supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you can probably see by little boxes that show the hex code of the characters.

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

You can check the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).

Awesome. I was going about it as if it were a Java, antivirus, or Ad Block problem or something. I never would have thought it was a font thing.

Thanks a bunch!
