    I think that firefox uses a different file type for rendering fonts (though its usually Chrome thats the problematic one for me). It might be that the file type is not allowed on your server - though i dont actually think thats the case.

    Does it work if you include the cdn link in the head just before the closing </head> tag (after the current css file)

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

      No... added that in and still no icons appear... I wonder if this has something to do with the minify addon i use to minify my sites js/css??? i didnt have this issue before beginning to use that... I am using MinifyX

        I wouldn't have thought so if it is working in Chrome. But you can add that line above in using the firefox insecptor and editing the HTML after it has been rendered and minified to see if it is the minify script causing the issue.

          Tried it but no change... something odd somewhere...

            For sure.

            Does it work if you visit this page? http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/
            Do you have other MODX sites on the same server that display the icons ok?

              Yep all icons render fine at http://fontawesome.io/cheatsheet/ - no other modx builds on the server no

                Looking at the index.css - is this ok?

                .icon-glass:before {
                  content: ""; }


                should it not have a character code in the content:"" element?

                  No that's fine that's just how it gets rendered out.

                  I'm still leaning towards it being a disallowed file type in that case. Ensure that these file types are allowed on your server

                  .woff2
                  .woff
                  .eot
                  .svg
                  .ttf
