How do I get Firefox 84.0 to render spaces between lines correctly in Goolge sheets/docs?

Hello

For some strange reason, a strange problem started happening one week ago or so. Spaces between lines do not show up in Google sheets or Google docs in Firefox. Therefore text lines look like cluttered. I did a test: I logged out of my Firefox account and created a new profile to work with. That did fix the issue. Nonetheless, the problem happened again after synchronizing the new profile with my Firefox account.

Moreover, the problem happens regardless of the font type used in Google sheets/docs.

Right after loading the corresponding google sheet/doc, there is a message, sometimes, saying something like "Some fonts cannot be loaded. Please try again later"

Does anyone have any idea to fix this? My setup is: Firefox: 84.0 Ubuntu 18.04 with LXDE.

Please find a screenshot displaying the problem in attachment. Thanks in advance!

The problem had to do with having the zoom enabled at 170% within Firefox. Once I took the zoom back to 100%, the lines spacing got back to normal. I tried this also in Google Chrome and I could see Google Chrome displays spaces between lines correctly, even with a 300% zoom. It would be great if they could fix this in Firefox for Linux.
