This is not just in Firefox, though, I noticed that the text in the Windows Task Manager has also become bolded. I've tried reinstalling the fonts by downloading the relevant fonts, but it doesn't seem to be working.

I also tried opening Word, and noticed that Arial and Times New Roman are stuck on italic. So it does seem to have something to do with the fonts, but then I don't see why reinstalling doesn't work?

This is incredibly frustrating, I hope someone can help.

If you have an ATI graphics display try to disable "Morphological Filtering" in the Catalyst display driver:

  • Catalyst Control Center > 3D Settings > Disable Morphological Filtering

I can't seem to find that option. I tried to follow the instructions here: http://support.mozilla.com/sv-SE/questions/826943, but I can't find that option under 3D Application Settings. I have Catalyst Control Center 11.9. 

Here's what it looks like for me: http://img804.imageshack.us/img804/8069/amdx.jpg

It should look like the screenshot in this thread: [/questions/858896]
If not then you may have an older version of the ATI control center.
