In-site navigation buttons are not showing their graphics but still function?

I first noticed this in Yahoo Mail, then just today in the new Delicious site. The buttons in Yahoo Mail still function but it's difficult to know what navigation function I'm pressing since the graphic is the indicator.

That is a problem with a downloadable font that is used to display these icons.

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 reset this pref if it shows as user set (bold) via the right-click context menu to the default value.

You can open the about:config page via the location bar.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.


Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.

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

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

Note that these settings affect background images.

Thanks for the response cor-el,

None of the items you've mentioned are part of the cause. I've even restarted Firefox with add-ons disabled and still encounter the same problem. Google Chrome renders the site perfectly, so I don't think it's a system issue. I've updated all plugins but no change. Attached is a screen capture. Thanks again for your help!
