The manythings japanese site which worked perfectly in Firefox's previous version now fails to display Japanese characters, instead symbols are displayed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Log onto http://www.manythings.org/kanji/q/
2.Select any kanji symbol, wait for the page to load
3.Select 'Start 4-choice quiz'
4.Observe that the text in bold is not kanji
Actual Results:  
previously the iste displays kanji options

Expected Results:  
the symbols previously seen as kanji are now a series of symbols such as wingdings or webdings

Attached is a grab of my vers of firefox and the page as seen in this version of Firefox

That whole page appears to be a flash movie (or at least the yellow box). There is little that the browser can do about that.
Have you recently changed/updated the Flash plugin ?
Or do you have any extensions installed that interact with the flash plugin ?

That site works fine on my side, btw.
