Hi, this happens in some of the webpages that I visited recently. The font looks pretty weird here. But when I select that text and copy it and paste it somewhere else, it fixes up. If anyone could help me fix this that would be awesome. Thanks!

This is usually caused by a corrupted font or Firefox can't access the font because of Mac sandbox issues.

You can right-click and select "Inspect" to open the builtin 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 Font 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.
