1033454 - Use better characters for page-switching links that are using "font icons".

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Mozilla QA Graveyard :: One and Done, defect)

Description

[[:Aleksej]]

Attachment: oneanddone-disabledfonticons.png

1. Go to https://oneanddone.paas.allizom.org/en-US/
2. Look at the page-switching links under the list of tasks.
3. Uncheck Preferences → Content → Advanced → Allow pages to choose their own fonts…
4. Look at the page-switching links under the list of tasks.

Actual results:
When pages can't choose their own fonts, the links show characters completely meaningless in the context.

Expected results:
The links looks meaningfully.  They are proper text when styles are disabled, they should not be worse when only fonts are disabled.  The ability of pages to choose fonts is a way to fingerprint users by enumerating the available fonts.

Maybe these characters would work: ⏮⏪⏩⏭

Removing the assigned user. She did some work but is unable to complete it, so the task is again available.

We are redesigning the task list which will remove the page-switching links, so closing this.
