After I upgraded to Firefox 6.0, when I view the source code it is pulling a really strange font (looks like a digital clock). How do I change the font back to something standard like Times or arial or something.

I'm on an intel mac using os x 10.6.8.

I removed firefox from the applications folder and removed the profiles folder in Library/Application Support/Firefox - Re-installed it and the same thing happened.

Corrupt localstore.rdf

So my localstore.rdf file was in my Library/Application Support/Firefox/ folder. I deleted that (I actually deleted this when I un-installed everything before also) and let firefox create a new one.

It looks like it didn't help.

-> Create a New Profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

-> Basic Troubleshooting: Make a New Profile

-> If that New Profile works then you can recover your Bookmarks and Passwords from the Old Profile.

-> Recovering important data from an old profile

Check and tell if its working.

Ok, so just found out what the reason is and it has nothing to do with Firefox. For some reason, my "Times" font has a duplicate and I resolved this awhile ago. But, for some reason, version 6 is having an issue with this.

I was first only seeing the font issue in viewing the source but noticed it when I created a web page and didn't assign a font to it. This gave the website my default font of "times" but actually pulled in the same weird digital clock font.

Realized it had to do with "times" and went and changed my default font to arial in the settings. This took care of the problem. Thanks for all the help!
