Over the last two weeks, there is a new 'language' dominating my searches. Fundamentally I still see everything in english (the langauge that is set in settings) but the content is in some form of hyroglyphics (sic)... I have tried everything in an attempt to resolve with zero success! Just now I was searching accomodatin listings and whilst the headings are in english the content is ilegible. I have reset / refreshed firefox but it didn't resolve this issue  :-(

Please help with a solution

Hi Lyn, Are there any alternative languages set? Menu -> Settings -> General -> Language Set Alternatives

This could be a font issue.

You can right-click and select "Inspect" to open the built-in Inspector with this element selected.

You can check in the Rules tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font-family is used for selected text. You can check in the Fonts tab in the right panel in the Inspector what font is actually used because Firefox might be using a different font than specified by the website.
