The webfonts return a 404 File not Found in Firefox. It tries to load them from

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anaqreon/hubzilla-website/master/assets/vendor/font-awesome/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff

The links are in the inline stylesheet in head.

It may be true but I'm not seeing that double chevron in any of my browsers, right now.

It may be better to serve font-awesome locally. Requiring connections to github could break the site for privacy conscious browsers.

The project itself is not using font-awesome anymore. We are using fork-awesome now. I guess you probably need to change this in the css font definition also...

If have not tried to follow the details, but I think the correct keword is CORS.

Looks like you found the answer @h.ear.t . It is trying to load a file from a site that no longer exists (my old GitHub repo). Your other browsers may simply be using a cached version of that file perhaps.

You likely don't have the time to do it yourself, but I think it's time the project page was not only updated, but migrated back to the form of a traditional webpage for easier updating and maintenance. To be clear, I am arguably the second strongest advocate of the Hubzilla webpage elements system (behind Mike who created it, obviously), since as far as I can tell I'm one of the only people in the world since it was created years ago that has actually made a website using the system. But even to a supporter like myself, this indicates that perhaps while it has amazing potential, the webpage element system is not important enough yet to drain the time of the Hubzilla project's meager resources. There are "bigger fish to fry".
