This all started when Facebook changed the font size in their webpage. So I adjusted my font by using ctrl +/- to enlarge the font. Since then when I check my email in Yahoo the read and unread emails appear the same. Almost like a bold font for everything. I can't distinguish between them while using Firefox... I uninstalled Firefox, I cleared cookies and cache and the issue still remains.

Just to clarify, this is happening on other web pages too. The font looks different and while I can adjust the size either on the webpage or by using ctrl +/-, I'd like to get things back the way it was before... Any suggestions?

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

Your More system details list shows that you have made some changes to the default font settings.

Are there any other font prefs (Filter: font.) bold (user set) on the about:config page?

So I went into "about:config" and reset everything which did nothing. I then went into safe-mode and reset everything to Firefox defaults but that also did nothing... I'm attaching a couple pics so you can see the difference. Firefox on the left and IE on the right...
