With Firefox 2.0.0.20, I don't see any empty boxes, but I do see the
^M characters.  This happens because the very first line of the file
written by Firefix has a Unix-style EOL: a single LF character, while
the rest of the lines end with DOS-style CR-LF pair.

Put cursor on one of the empty boxes and type "C-u C-x =".  Emacs will
pop a buffer describing the character it sees at that point.  Post
that here, and maybe I or someone else could explain that to you.
