This is a fairly serious bug that affects so many websites with uncommon
fonts, most notably Google services like Gmail using the Roboto font.
Refreshing the page has a chance of loading the missing symbols but it's
not guaranteed.

Title:
  Broken/Missing font rendering in firefox

Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On some websites,e.g., https://zenodo.org and https://www.youtube.com
  the text is not visible on the site. However, when selecting all
  (CTRL-a) and copying the text to an text editor, the proper text is
  available. Therefore, the text is not rendered or using an strange
  font without any glyphs in it. I repeated this with the usually not
  used "Guest Account". Hence it is not an issue with my personal
  setting.

  The issue appeared when upgrading to Ubuntu Zesty (17.04). The current
  Firefox package install is 52.0+build2-0ubuntu0.16.10.1

  I will downgrade not to 50.1.0+build2-0ubuntu1 to reexamine the issue.
