more options

On websites that renders text in the users' installed fonts, the text gets rendered in Arial Narrow. This only happens on Firefox; attached are screenshots of https://nyaa.si/ and https://mpv.io/ on Firefox and in Chromium.

A quick glance at about:config with the search term "font" shows no modified settings.

Any fixes?
