Running firerox-68.4.2esr on Slackware-14.2. I added a couple of system fonts and the display is now ragged despite which font I select. Also, I cannot access all system fonts because the menu in the upper right corner does not have an 'options' item.

Chosen solution

On Linux you can use Preferences (Edit -> Preferences) instead of Options.

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.
