Why is the website "Biddit-Website not correctly displayed with Firefox in W10 ? The icons are not shown, see screenshot. Example link: example In Chrome it is going fine.

When I push the refresh-button in FF, the icons display correctly during a few milliseconds. Then the screen goes blank and the page is refreshed.

In the settings I have a check mark for "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above"

I have no ad-blocker or such things. Could this be a bug in FF ?

You see little boxes with the hex code of the character if you do not have a font installed that covers this Unicode range or block downloadable fonts.

Small icons can be supplied by an iconic font that is downloaded from the server via @font-face CSS rules. If you have content blocking extensions like uBlock Origin then make sure you do not block remote fonts.

You can check gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled on the about:config page and make sure it is set to true and if necessary click its reset button to set its value to true.

You can check the Web Console (Tools -> Web Developer) for messages about blocked content and about the presence of mixed or unsafe content.

You can check the Network Monitor to see if content is blocked or otherwise fails to load.

If necessary use "Ctrl+F5" or "Ctrl+Shift+R" (Mac: Command+Shift+R) to reload the page and bypass the cache to generate a fresh log.
