I did a test and I set "Allow pages to use there own fonts" and that
shows the squares with numbers. If I disable this option the page looks
fine. So it appears to be something with firefox and loading fonts.

I also downloaded the fonts that come with that page. DroidSans.ttf and
DroidSans-Bold.ttf

See the css at https://jetpack.mozillalabs.com/css/screen.css

And those fonts seem to be fine.

Also, eventually firefox crashes after leaving that page open and
scrolling it around.
