The text on Amazon web pages is distorted. I have tried changing text setting (font and font size) sin Firefox Preferences, but cannot read the text at any setting. A few of my other sites also have this problem, but most do not. Can you help me? Here is a screenshot of a typical Amazon page.

The screenshot is rather small and has low resolution, so it is hard to see what is wrong.

Make sure you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

  • Settings -> General -> Language and Appearance -> Fonts -> Advanced
    [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above"

If you use uBlock Origin make sure not to "block remote fonts".

You may have accidentally zoomed webpage(s). Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems. Also make sure you haven't selected "Zoom Text Only".

  • View -> Zoom -> Reset (Ctrl+0/Command+0 (zero))
