When I woke my laptop up this morning things kept freezing, so I rebooted, which triggered updates for Adobe, Java, DivX, and Windows. Firefox was fine until I did a restart for the Windows updates. Now all of the fonts in the menus, address bar, the little things that pop up on mouseover, everything is a different font that I can't quite identify. The fonts of websites all appear to be fine except for Facebook. Internet Explorer and all other programs I've checked use my normal Tahoma. Restarting Firefox and changing to the default Persona have had no effect. Tahoma comes back when I run it in safe mode, but disabling each add-on one at a time hasn't revealed anything. I suppose I can get used to the font, but it's pretty unsettling when something mysterious happens to my computer. :s Any help is really appreciated.

I had the same issue and after some futzing around I realized its profile related and therefore based on some option. After resetting "gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled" back to false in about:config and restarting ff the problem seems to have subsided.
