Firefox displaying little boxes of hex code instead of letters

all of a sudden firefox started displaying little boxes of numbers and letters which i suppose are hex code instead of letters for all web pages visited.

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

On a mac, coded a simple HTML page, but can't bring it up in firefox, it simply brings up the code instead of translating it to a web page.

I have made a very simple HTML page in text editor on my mac. I'm trying to view what the page would look like in firefox, but it just brings up the code, rather than the webpage, even though the extension in the address bar says .html.

Are you opening that file locally or have you uploaded the file to a server on the internet?
Can you post a link if you have uploaded the file?

Whenever I close and then reopen firefox all I get is boxes with numbers in them instead of letters or words I have to reboot to get back to regular firefox.

If I leave firefox open and simply minimize everything is fine if I close it and then reopen it even if right away I get the boxes with the numbers instead of letters or numbers.

Try to set the pref gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading to false on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

I just updated to 10.8.4 and my mail program is showing a series of boxes with AAAAs inside them instead of the email addresses. Also when on Safari web pages are displaying the same AAAAAs instead of type. Firefox displays fine. Can someone help me?

Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
Next, close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Uploaded pdf-documents generates code instead of pages in firefox and chrome (however they work in safari)

this is a new problem after having upgraded to mountain lion.
when I attach a hyperlink to my pdf-document that I like to display on the web - the pdf-document will not show up in Firefox or Chrome - it generates a lot of code instead.
I have only uploaded the files to my computer (not released on the web yet) - as I can see all files are neatly displayed in the appropriate pagefolder.
One of the themes (modern) provided as a standard feature in iWeb has been used. In Chrome the menu does not show up either (although safari and firefox displays the menu correctly)

I should have given you some info about testing the local version of your site. As you probably realise, its almost useless testing your site in Safari since hardly anybody uses it.
In OS X up to Snow Leopard, we could set up Web Sharing from System Prefs but Apple made this difficult in Mountain Lion.
See the bottom of this page for info about testing the local version of your website...

How do I get firefox to stop displaying blue boxes around my linked images?

I am talking about Firefox 3.5 on mac.
I was wondering if there was some way of turning off link highlighting on my website in Dreamweaver or if there is some kind of code I have to enter.
What happens is that i have images with hyperlinks and firefox puts blue boxes around them and it is ugly.
Safari works perfectly so its not me.

The answer to this question, Getting rid of blue borders around links is in the Dreamweaver FAQ.

You can try to clear the font cache(s).

Firefox does not display Captcha box

Firefox 33.1 does not display captcha boxes. this is not new has been ongoing for a year or more and I keep a copy of IE installed so that when I find a site that tells me I have not entered the captcha correctly (The one that I didn't see at all) i can go into IE and work in there.

Actually, you might not have noticed this, but Disconnect is no longer updating the separate Google Disconnect and Facebook Disconnect extensions, and has created a consolidated extension that replaces those and has new features.

DigitalColor Meter not displaying HEX code

In Snow Leopard I was using DigitalColor Meter 3.7.2 which had support for RGB as a Hex Value, 8-bit hex colour as (See Image)
I recently purchased a iMac and although I thought i was going to have Snow Leopard installed it came with Lion. So I though I would try it out for myself.
I when to open my DigitalColor Meter 4.0 on Lion and I am not even given the option. (See Image)
As a web developer I have used this tool every day for years! I was able to cut and paste the hex code to any colour I saw on my screen not matter where it was or what program I was using. The changes made to this tool have basically made it useless to me.
I really don't know why you would take away functionality on a operating system that is used by so many creative people and in a field that is just growing more in popularity.
I really hope I can find a way to get this back or it is just hidden with some terminal command.

You could try using the SL version in Lion. I've not tried that. BTW, if you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

How do I get rid of the little box to the left of each bookmark in the bookmark toolbar?

On my bookmarks toolbar, there is a little box to the left of each bookmark. The box causes the bookmarks to take up too much space, thus limiting the number of bookmarks I can get on the bar without using dropdowns. I don't like the little boxes, I don't want the little boxes. Please tell me how to get rid of the little boxes.

Those are icons, but you would still need to leave some space between the text labels.
This is code I found here:
* http://www.linnhe2.free-online.co.uk/firefox/chrome.html#Hide%20Bookmark%20toolbar%20icons
<pre>#personal-bookmarks .toolbarbutton-icon {
display: none !important;
}</pre>

Screen has little boxes all over, uninstalled and reinstalled but boxes are still there. This is only program with this problem.

When I opened Firefox this A.M the screen came up with little boxes, in columns, covering the whole screen. Four of the columns are colored in like a cash register tape that is running out of paper. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it with no change. This is the only program on this computer that this is happening with. Please advise.
Thank you,
Phil

This can be a problem with the font that is used to display the text.
You can use this extension to see which fonts are used for text that is selected (right-click context menu: Show fonts in selection).
*fontinfo: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/fontinfo/
You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).
*http://browserspy.dk/fonts-flash.php?detail=1
You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.

Here is the site

Any help welcome

I think you're confused by what you're seeing.
When I print > preview your on-line page in Firefox, I see the page content and links -- which may look like code to you, but they're not revealing anything abnormal. These are just links to other pages.
detailed_page.php?product_id=307-Yamaha-P105-Digital-Piano-in-White
You have these external style sheets but they are designated for screen & projection media only.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" href="style.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" href="jcart/css/jcart.css" />
Your print styles are actually driven by boilerplate.css towards the bottom of the page.
/* ==|== print styles =======================================================
 Print styles.
 Inlined to avoid required HTTP connection: h5bp.com/r
 ========================================================================== */
@media print {
* { background: transparent !important; color: black !important; text-shadow: none !important; filter:none !important; -ms-filter: none !important; } /* Black prints faster: h5bp.com/s */
a, a:visited { text-decoration: underline; }
a[href]:after { content: " (" attr(href) ")"; }
abbr[title]:after { content: " (" attr(title) ")"; }
.ir a:after, a[href^="javascript:"]:after, a[href^="#"]:after { content: ""; } /* Don't show links for images, or javascript/internal links */
pre, blockquote { border: 1px solid #999; page-break-inside: avoid; }
thead { display: table-header-group; } /* h5bp.com/t */
tr, img { page-break-inside: avoid; }
img { max-width: 100% !important; }
@page { margin: 0.5cm; }
p, h2, h3 { orphans: 3; widows: 3; }
h2, h3 { page-break-after: avoid; }
Perhaps that's why what you see in print doesn't match what you see on screen.
If you want a print out of the screen display, do a screengrab with your print screen key. Paste content it into your favorite graphics editor.
Hope this helps,
Nancy O.
