I have read some of the answers about this and I have made adjustments as they talked about an none of them worked.

I have a fresh install of 3.6.12 on a newly built machine. In Facebook & Twitter and any translator page and many other sites and or Apps, I end up with that square box with a hex number (I see it called) I have made the adjustments in "allow sites to use there fonts" and some other ideas and each time I have restarted FF and even the machine a few times after an adjustment.

I use translator pages often and none of them will display a proper characters.

Please, I need to solve this Problem!

Thank You

Cor-el,

That did it. It needed the East Asian language installation.

Thank You !!
