change of font after installation of firefox 9
Because I had problems with the view of most Web pages in Firefox, I uninstalled the program. Then I installed 9 Firefox. Since then, the Web pages are not good with the displayed font. Almost all text is bold or italic. This is, after installation, also the case with Google Chrome and even in Microsoft Word. In Microsoft Word could I still only get letters bold font Times New Roman

Sounds that one or more font in Windows are corrupted and in that case you need to remove or reinstall the corrupted fonts.
You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

I opened the link and see a list of fonts on my computer. How can I be "wrong" to change fonts?

Did you noticed which fonts look different from what they should look like?
You will have to identify the corrupted fonts to be able to repair them and fix your problem.
Try to refresh the font registry by reinstalling corrupted fonts.
Open Control Panel > Fonts
Choose > File > Install new Font
Browse to the C:\windows\fonts folder
Click "Select All" to select all fonts or select only specific fonts that you want to refresh
Click Install to install and refresh all selected fonts.
You can press the Alt key and click the Yes button to confirm that you want to replace the fonts.

If I step through the control panel, which you recommended me, I get the following message:
The font is already installed. If you want to install a new version you must first remove the old version.
If I open the microsoft link, I see the following message:
As one of the standard Windows fonts missing, you can run Windows Setup again. The missing or modified files are then reinstalled. If these standard fonts are missing, this is possibly also for other Windows files. These files are also reinstalled, Setup.
Warning If you run Windows Setup, start programs and hardware drivers that you installed since the last time that Windows is installed on your computer may be lost. Please contact the support department for more information about the files that you can lose. On the following Microsoft Web site provides information on how to contact the support center: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus
I dare not to run Windows Setup again. What you counsel me?

Hi cor-el,
I'm sorry that I respond so lately, but I'm busy and don't have much time to use my PC.

Do you have a good idea to my problem?
