On various websites, only on firefox, *some* of the math symbols appear as squares. As a mathematician, this is quite annoying and now I have to switch browsers until I get a fix. Please help!

One needs to provide the URL so others can verify what is happening and also did you try in Private Mode browser to see if this changes anything.

How is this coded if you check this in the Page Inspector ? Is this done via MathML or latex(TeX) translation ?

You can right-click and select "Inspect" to open the built-in Inspector with this element selected.
