How do I change letters for proper video controls eg I currently get displayed a "f" for play.

I'm getting letters instead of normal video play control symbols eg f for play, t for full screen, d for volume symbol etc. I need the symbols! Otherwise I'll be uninstalling firefox and installing internet explorer.
