Some of the graphics on websites I visit have been replaced with text and I'm not sure how to fix this. Usually it's down or up arrows on sites. See below

If the above does not resolve the issue:

From Guidestar? That is the Material Icons font (see first attached screenshot showing how to determine that using the Inspector tool -- right-click the character, Inspect Element, then change the panel on the lower right from Rules to Fonts).

The font loads from a Google site (second attached screenshot):

Possibly your Firefox can't access or prefers not to access some Google sites, either due to privacy add-ons, Containers, or external security blocks?
