My icons now look like plain tabs in which two meaningless characters are on the top and two are on the bottom. They look like gibberish.

Does disabling Adblock Plus work? Adblockers, or addons such as Ghostery, and TACO may render webpages to display incorrectly.

Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using one of the following steps:
