Is blocking 3rd party cookies preventing some icons on sites' menus from showing?
I've noticed a problem in last several Fx versions where certain sites' menus & internal links - don't show icon images (for some). Like menus on a credit card site, once logged in. Or certain webmail menu icons.
Or HP's community forum - the text editor (to add a question) menu icons - once logged in. https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/custom/pa ... .hp.com%2F
It's relatively few sites - but some are important. I also noticed that any icons / images that are a problem in Fx, display in IE 9, though IE settings show 3rd party cookies blocked.
Tried a new, clean profile w/ the Fx install I was using (35.0.1). All the icon images (on sites that previously had problems) seemed to display, as long as "Accept Cookies from site" was checked & 3rd party cookies were allowed.
In the clean profile, disabling 3rd party cookies seemed to cause some icons not to show. But in IE, 3rd party cookies are "supposedly" blocked, & the icons display in it. Obviously, the problem isn't addons - problem can be reproduced in clean profile.
Also tried a clean Fx install in another folder. Same results as above - as with my old Fx install & a clean profile.

No.
Missing icons are usually supplied by a font that is downloaded from the server (@font-face) as you might see by little boxes that show the hex code of the characters instead.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.
- Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
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).
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
