I've seen backpage escort posts on only a couple other person's PCs and they have little images embedded within the txt. These are not emojis, but actual little images. Attached is a screencap of a wrongly displayed header. How do I get the GIFs to display? These guys with the GIFs displaying correctly didnt set up their PCs, and didn't know how it was done.

Thanks in advance! Joe

Missing icons are usually supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you might see by little boxes that show the hex code of the characters instead. If you have a font installed that covers this Unicode range then you may see a real (CJK) character and not the little box with the CSS code.

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

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 the line to toggle its value to true).
