in sites like amazon or yahoo mail, i can't see symbols like Quote Marks or Check Marks, i just get a unicode box with 4 digits in it. i can't figure out how to get firefox to recognize these common symbols.

Can you give us some web addresses so we can see it?

Those missing icons are actually supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you can see by the little boxes that show the hex code of the characters.

You can check the gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled pref on the about:config page and make sure that it is set to true (if necessary double-click the line to toggle its value).

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
