Symbols appearing weirdly in AAMC practice tests?

technical question. does anyone else have this problem with the online AAMC practice test? does this happen to me because I am using a Mac (latest version of firefox)?

i got this q wrong because the symbol got messed up. i did not know that the symbol actually meant 1/4.. .this happens to a bunch of other things in the practice test. for example when AAMC trys to write an exponent, instead of saying

1x10^14 it will say 1' 10^14 . I feel like there are a few questions that i got wrong cause i didnt know what the symbol was.

is this just me? or do other ppl experience this? is there a way around it?

below is an example of what i mean. i will remove this pic if it violates anything.

Yeah I do get the 1x10^14 --- 1' 10^14 stuff too.

Have the same problem too. I think in AAMC 9, a certain discrete question, their answers choices had greek letters (to designate angle) that wasn't in the diagram.

Also they used "q" to designate "n" (index of refraction). Confused the hell out of me and ended up wasting 2 minutes on that question. I asked my teacher and she said it was probably my computer.

I get the weird symbols when I take the tests on firefox. Switching to internet explorer fixes it for me.
