Why do all italics on any Webpage show as different, large, fancy font?

Recently (most recent Firefox update?), the italics that are on any Webpage show as fancy, flowing font like the handwriting that one would see on the U.S. Constitution. I'm looking at a Webpage I made which I know is in Times New Roman, and I see any italics as the fancy font, in much larger size. Likewise for a news page on Google News. The same pages don't show this result in Safari or Internet Explorer, only Firefox.
