icons missing
Been using Firefox for years - I always install it on a new PC. Just bought a new PC. Installed Firefox but the small 'icons' that appear on a menu (for example) are missing. I deleted (add/remove) Firefox and downloaded another copy. Same result. The 'icons' appear in Internet Explorer, Chrome and Opera on the same websites. I would send you a screen shot (as a pdf or a Word file) but I keep getting the message "Invalid or no image received"
Any suggestiosn about making them appear would be fantastic!

Missing icons are usually supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you might see by little boxes that show the hex code of the characters instead.
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).

I would check the security settings, maybe they are a little too strict for the website that you are trying to get.

Cor-el. Brilliant. Fixed my 'missing icons' in a few seconds with your answer.

It's been bugging me for weeks and I'd even started using other browsers...

FOR MAC OWNERS USING FF: PREF / CONTENT / ADVANCED / Select "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above". - This will bring back your icons.
