Why are question marks/and dollar signs showing up instead of type on many websites?

On a number of webites, boxes with questions marks and/or dollar signs appear instead of legible type. The sites open up cleanly on Safari. I looked at the View > text encoding, and they are Unicode. Any thoughts?

Chosen solution

Would you try this :

Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter) Promise to be careful, if asked) Type and look for the preference : security.sandbox.content.level and set its value to 1 (one) (default value is 3 )

Everything back to normal  ?
