Mozilla is confused with the Windows symbol font.  You can enable it, if 
you edit /usr/lib/firefox-$VERSION/res/fonts/fontEncoding.properties and
uncomment the lines

encoding.symbol.ttf = Adobe-Symbol-Encoding
encoding.symbol.ftcmap = mac_roman

It is a known bug (search bugzilla.mozilla.org for mathml and symbol if you
need more details).
