But I am on Windows 10 here. Only thing I can say is uninstall your FF and delete the Mozilla folder and reinstall again to see if there wasn't something that got corrupted in FF to cause the font issues. Usually fonts going blurry like what I see is result of corrupted files causing the problem and narrow it done is next to impossible since the file won't be consider corrupted by the system.

That is why I posted above to check this in the <b>Font</b> tab in the right panel in the Inspector.
You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" to open the builtin Inspector with this element selected.

<p>You can check for sandbox security issues when Firefox has a problem to access fonts installed locally.

<p>You can set this pref to 2 or 1 on the <b>about:config</b> page to reduce the sandbox security level.

<p>If '1' still doesn't have effect then try '0' to disable the sandbox.

</p><p>It's nice others offer ideas, but none resolve it. As I have stated before, Safari &amp; Chrome used to have similar issue only worse displaying gibberish unreadable period. They fixed it. It can be resolved. Perhaps Mozilla could call Chrome support.
</p><p>Last FFox upgrade had same issue, then resetting digits in sandbox finally remedied it. Current upgrade not doing it. Nothing resolves the "replacement" font.

</p><p>Maybe you could file a bug report with the best known steps to reproduce the problem. If it can be triggered on a developer's machine, that gives you a better shot at getting it solved. Otherwise, it could remain in the category of "sh*t happens" until someone spots the pattern.

Although I do like Yahoo Classic better, it did not solve the issue.
</p><p>So still no word from Mozilla on this pervasive issue. I've seen vast entries in this forum about this font instability issue. They never resolve it from one upgrade to the next. I always have to waste time (which means losing money) going through this jungle every time.
</p><p>If Chrome &amp; Safari can fix it, this means it can be fixed. Someone knows how to fix it. Perhaps it's a trade secret?
</p><p>They need to give users the option of upgrading rather than upgrading automatically. At least option of going back to last version which I finally managed to correct.
