When i go to google, the page displays a different font/language, it looks like it is Cherokee font (not sure). It only happens on google and no other website. Now this happened after I installed some windows updates, and upgraded to the latest version of Firefox. I have tried google on other browsers on my PC and it works fine, this only happens in Firefox

It sounds like you have encountered this bug: Language preference synced as chrome URL

The workaround is to set the preference named services.sync.prefs.sync.intl.accept_languages to false. For instructions on how to change that preference, see Editing configuration.
