My problem is the bolded font: before view - http://i.imgur.com/6FlBHZs.png, after view - http://i.imgur.com/cxaRhtZ.png

I want to return the normal view of the fonts in the websites. This problem appears only in Firefox.

Are you zooming those pages. because that can cause Firefox to use a bold font if you zoom too much?

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • View > Zoom > Reset (Ctrl+0 (zero); Command+0 on Mac)

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
