You may have zoomed the page(s) by accident.
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

Zoom? Did you not read my post? Some texts have become tinier in my Outlook account. This is purely Mozilla's fault. I didnt do anything... I;m not that tech idiot. It just upgraded on its own and then saw the font became bolder. I reinstalled and unsynced, still the same. Downgrading was the only solution.

You can rename (or delete) the content-prefs.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder to reset the page zoom for all websites.

Type about:support in the address bar and press enter.

Under the page logo on the left side you will see Application Basics. Under this find Profile Folder. To it’s right press the button Show Folder. This will open your file browser to the current Firefox profile. Now Close Firefox.

Locate the file. Then rename or delete it. Restart Firefox.

The Zoom feature works to ZoomIN to make text larger - and ZoomOUT - which makes text smaller

There can be a problem with the font that is used to display the text.

You can right-click on a web page and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer). You can check the font used for selected text in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector.

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.
