Today everything was fine, then I was using preimer pro, and when i went back to look at my email and some other pages, some of the text is suddenly BOLD and ITALIC. I only mention preimer bc I wonder if i hit some key combonation that turned a setting on i can't find now?

I'm on a macbook pro. I have looked at the default settings and can't find anything that would cause this to happen. Looked through the help and cant find a solution there that fits my problem. Thanks!

This can be a font issue.

You can right-click and select "Inspect Element" 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.

Did you try to close and restart Firefox or reboot the computer ?

Restarting did not help. I am not sure what using the inspector is supposed to tell me. I have read through it and all i seem to be able to do is change one line of text, but not even keep it changed.

Is there some key strock like COMMAND B that i might have hit to cause this change, or someplace in the settings i'm not looking?
