User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/78.0
Steps to reproduce:
Open various pages, IMDB, Facebook, eBay, etc.
Actual results:
The pages open and seem to load, but some characters fail to render properly, and are displayed as small boxes with hex codes in them. Another example is the upload a file button on this very page, see attached image.
Expected results:
The pages should open properly.

Right-click one of the code boxes and choose Inspect Element. When the developer tools pane opens, click the Fonts tab on the right. What does it say next to Fonts Used?

Looks like there are some strike-throughs in the code. Font size: Inherit is struck through, and then, scrolling down, the line which reads "Font-family: Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;" is also struck through. For some reason I can't take a screenshot to show you what I'm seeing.

Font size: Inherit is struck through
I asked about "Fonts Used" at the top of the Fonts tab, when the element that won't render correctly is selected in the Inspector pane on the left.

Feel free to reopen the report if the issue still occurs in the latest version of Firefox and you're able to provide the requested information.
