Fonts not displaying properly after 10.0 update (Mac OS X)

After I updated to Firefox 10.0, almost all websites now default to Times Roman, even after I have set Helvetica as my default font as well as have checked "allow pages to choose their own fonts".

I tried trashing prefs, reinstalling the previous version of FF but to no avail.

Never had this issue before and all fonts are displaying properly in Safari and Chrome.

Any ideas?

Ok, I tried with a different (new) account and FF displayed fonts fine on the new account.

Any ideas on what could be causing this for my account?

Ok repaired permissions and now some fonts display properly but some are still times roman. Even explicitly setting fonts in Firebug doesn't change them...
