Do the Buttons/Icons show as a box with characters(4 numbers/ letters)?

Go to Tools > Options > Content

Click the Advanced button and make sure there is a check in the box for "Allow pages to choose their own fonts".

If you change that, try reloading the page. Does Firefox load the missing icons?

If that isn't the issue, please post back.
