On sites such as Twitter, certain icons are replaced with rectangles containing f-numbers, e.g. F179.

How do I correct this?

All scripts are allowed, i.e. twitter.com and twimg.com.

Hope this helps:
<span class="Icon Icon--bird"><span class="visuallyhidden">Twitter</span></span>

.Icon--bird:before {
content: "";
}
.Icon:before {
display: block;
font-family: "rosettaicons";
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
text-align: center;
}

Thanks for explaining this. However, if I permanently allow domains such as twitter.com and twimg.com as trusted, why does NoScript still forbid FONT@?

Unfortunately, no; 'whitelisted' is unchecked, and when I uncheck 'Forbid@font-face', no change.

Mea culpa: the bug is not with NS; even disabled, the icons won't appear. The bug seems to be with Firefox or Java; Mozilla says that Java is outdated/vulnerable, but Java says otherwise. I may have to reinstall Firefox to fix.

Thanks for all your help.

And if you disable Java, the page displays properly?
(BTW, URL ? Oh, https://twitter.com/)
(I would think it odd for them to be using Java, but who knows?)

Now that is a known bug in Mozilla's Plugin update check.

You're right; it's definitely Firefox. It doesn't work, even with Java disabled, but works fine with IE.
