Firefox is not showing emoticons on Facebook.
Instead of emoticons, Firefox is showing me blank spaces all over Facebook (chat, status updates, comments etc.). I've tried to clean all data, I've restarted it, and it doesn't help. Only thing that's helping is when I downgrade to version 29, so it must be a bug. Currently, I'm using version 33.1.1, the latest one, on 64bit Windows 8.1.
Emoticons work properly on other browsers (IE, Chrome, Opera).

OK, this bug is triggered by hardware acceleration. I've updated my Intel driver, and everything works now.

Thank you for your help!

No, my about:crashes is empty.
Can someone please respond with the real solution? I've googled it, and other people have this problem too. I've noticed they're using Firefox on Windows 8.1, and have to downgrade to version 29 to get emoticons back.
This keeps repeating when I opent console with CTRL + SHIFT + J:

I've the latest Firefox 36.0.4 and the latest Intel HD Graphics 4000 (laptop) drivers 10.18.10.4061 and still Firefox is showing me blank spaces instead of emoticons.
Domenico I've the same problem but I've also another problem which I think is related with the other one. Please check my image.
Which Intel driver did you update? I've a 6 years old laptop and this is happening to me from 3 days ago!
P.S. if you're italian as I think we can talk via private message

I have your exact problem has it been resolved ?
You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
- Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
You need to close and restart Firefox after toggling this setting.
disabling the HW accelleration skip the problem but the webpages don't look cool as usual.... I would like to really solve the problem. In my case the problem appeared 5 days when I didn't do any change to my pc/firefox setting.
