Win XP Pro SP3 / FF 9.0.1 Apparently something has changed my browser font display function. When a new tab is opened via a clicked link the Tabs Font is in Bold and Italic (Used to be Bold Only). Mousing over the Tab or onFocus does not change anything but as soon as I click on it it Goes to bold only as it should . When I click back to another tab it goes to Font regular as it should. Same thing happens when I close FF and re-launch the browser. All Tabs from the previous session show as Bold and Italic with the actual Tab being viewed as Bold Only. Clicking on the other tabs Make them Bold only (As it should be) and the Regular font when not selected. Maybe before there Bold Italic, but not the jaggy font that is displayed now. Any ideas?

Chosen solution

It was the latest release of the Appearance theme Nautipolis that caused the issue. I rolled back to an earlier release (Version 1.8.78) and everything is back to normal.

Here is a Screen Cap of the issue. Fresh launch with restored tabs from previous session. Ebay was selected and Facebook is the current selection. You will see that both SlickDeals and Amazon have not yet been clicked on and have the Jagged Bold and Italic font.

Upon more looking it appears as if my Theme "Nautipolis" was updated today 01/27/2012 (v 1.8.79). When I revert back to the default FF theme, the problem disappears. When starting ff in safe mode, the problem is not present as well. I guess it is a design/feature function change, but I do not like it at all.
