Ever since GitHub added octicons, I have been unable to see them in Firefox. I found the UTF codes listed here, but I have no idea how to fix them.

I had the same problem until I whitelisted fastly.net in NoScript. If you are using NoScript or a similar browser extension that can block third party websites, be sure to enable fastly.net because GitHub seems to have started to use this domain to distribute various assets including CSS and JavaScript code as well as some logos and perhaps the Octicons font they use for icons.

This solved my problem, but it wasn't fastly.net it was GitHub itself being blocked.– JoshJan 25, 2015 at 10:08
Go into Firefox
/ Preferences
/ Content
/ Fonts & Colors
/ Advanced...
and check Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above
.
I didn't even remember that I had this setting unchecked. I remember doing it because Google search results would always be italicized or something like that.
about:config
and check ifgfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled
is set tofalse
. You seem to be having an issue with webfonts, I guess.
