Google Material Icons (font) wont render in mozilla firefox - css

Question

I am trying to add google material-icons to my WordPress project locally currently on localhost using WAMP. With CDN, everything works perfectly but I want a static reference to icons.
Here is is my directory structure
/
-index.php
-css/
----style.min.css
----MaterialIcons-Regular.eot
----MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf
----MaterialIcons-Regular.woff
----MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2
In style.min.css I have:
.material-icons{
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 24px; /* Preferred icon size */
display: inline-block;
width: 1em;
height: 1em;
line-height: 1;
text-transform: none;
letter-spacing: normal;
word-wrap: normal;
white-space: nowrap;
direction: ltr;
/* Support for all WebKit browsers. */
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
/* Support for Safari and Chrome. */
text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
/* Support for Firefox. */
-moz-osx-font-smoothing: grayscale;
/* Support for IE. */
font-feature-settings: 'liga';
}
#font-face {
font-family: 'Material Icons';
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
src: url(MaterialIcons-Regular.eot); /* For IE6-8 */
src: local('Material Icons'),
local('MaterialIcons-Regular'),
url(MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2) format('woff2'),
url(MaterialIcons-Regular.woff) format('woff'),
url(MaterialIcons-Regular.ttf) format('truetype');
}
When I use icons in body as:
<i class="material-icons"></i>
The icons render just fine in chrome but not in firefox;
FireBug shows this error
Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading
the remote resource athttp://192.168.0.8/wp/wp-content/themes/thediode/css/MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2. (Reason: CORS header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' missing).
192.168.0.8/wp is the root set in WordPress backend on localhost so that images and other resources are fetched properly and I guess this is the problem.
Any ideas?
will this work when live?

Answer 1

In your URL bar in FF go to about:config. Find security.fileuri.strict_origin_policy and set it to false.
OR
Might be a file path issue. Try adding a slash:
url("/MaterialIcons-Regular.woff2")
