Firefox 6.0 is not Displaying Symbols Correctly

more options

Okay, ever since I updated to Firefox 6.0, it has not been displaying symbols correctly. It doesn't matter what site I'm on (I just used my twitter account as an example), as I'm having the same issue everywhere. Example on Firefox: http://i51.tinypic.com/2iifu5f.jpg

And if I open up Internet Explorer and view it, I see the symbols like I should be. This is what it looks like in Internet Explorer: http://i53.tinypic.com/25u74sw.jpg

So can anyone lend a hand as to why I'm not seeing symbols correctly in Firefox? And what is the way to fix this? I was having absolutely NO problems prior to the Firefox 6.0 update.

I am also using Windows 7 for my operating system if that helps any!

Thanks!

I honestly have no idea. It's what ever font family Twitter uses and I'm unsure of what they use.

Does anyone know what font settings I should have on Firefox? Or if I'm missing an installed font? I just don't understand why the symbols work perfectly fine on Internet Explorer but not on Firefox. D:

You can read in the MDC article that Firefox normally doesn't display the symbol font if that is used.
The preferred way is to use Unicode: √

The thing is, that specific symbol and everything works normally on my other computer that uses the exact same version of Firefox. Something is either missing in my Fonts folder or some setting on my Firefox is messed up. I know this problem is fixable, but yet I can't find any solutions.
