At some point little icons or images became replaced with small boxes with a "F053" or "F0XX" where XX is a set of numbers on several websites, I cannot seem to get that fixed.

Chosen solution

Those missing icons are actually supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you can see by the 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 to toggle its value).

You can open the about:config page via the location bar and you can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
