version 7.0 (and in 8.0) : FF is either hijacking on incorrectly displaying fonts on some sites, regardless of what is defined in the site's CSS. Example: in Safari, the informationweek.com homepage always displays the fonts correctly. Recently, it's RARELY correct in FF, but occasionally it will "suddenly" displays right. The CSS has NOT changed. Multiple users are experiencing this issue, on multiple platforms (FF7, in windows)

There are lots of CSS errors shown in the "Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Error Console" (Shift+CtrL+J) on that website.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).

You can do a check for corrupted and duplicate fonts and other font issues:
