It appears that when i type on any site and the text as well in reading, is all bold? The exception is in Outlook email. The typing is normal there. I have Version 53 Firefox and OS Windows 7 64 bit.

What font is used in cases where you get a bold font?

You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the built-in Inspector with this element selected. You can check the font used for selected text in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector. Set devtools.fontinspector.enabled to true on the about:config page to enabled the Font tab.


It is possible that there is a problem with the font that is used to display the text.

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
