Boxes with numbers and letters show instead of certain images on some websites
On yammer.com and linkedin.com, images for icons, like those that should display along the top of the screen do not display. Instead, I see a rectangle with numbers and letters. I've seen quite a few articles about the rectangles with numbers and letters that apply to characters but none involving images. I've also tried the steps in the article on troubleshooting images not displaying properly, and nothing seems to work.
Thanks!

Many sites now display icons using a custom font. Firefox might not be downloading and using that custom font for one of two reasons:
(1) Firefox set to use your preferred fonts instead of the page's font; or
(2) Firefox set not to download fonts.

Hello,
Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies do the following:
- Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
- Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
- Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
- From the details list, check Cache and Cookies and uncheck everything else.
- Now click the Clear now button.
Further information can be found in the Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

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"
I think its malware issue,its better to clear cookies and history. Thank you
Thank you, everyone, for your help! jscher2000's suggestion to edit the about.config file did the trick. It never occurred to me that some websites are using special fonts to render small icons, so I kept trying to figure out why images weren't downloading. :)
Thanks again.
