Basically, font on some certain websites(or parts of websites) looks weird. Ones I've noticed are Wikia, Disquis comments sections and Ebay listings.

I've added screenshots of the problems in action.

Ebay: https://puu.sh/AGff9/8680c81244.png

Any idea what is causing this?

This can happen when Firefox has a problem to access locally installed fonts because of sandbox security issues. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Sandbox

You can set this pref to 2 or 1 on the about:config page to lower the sandbox security setting.

security.sandbox.content.level = 1

Close and restart Firefox to make the change effective.

If '1' still doesn't have an effect then try '0' to disable the sandbox.

If this didn't work then undo/reverse the change and reset the pref via the right-click context menu to the default value.

Type about:config<enter> in the address bar. If a warning screen comes up, press the I Accept the Risk button. At the top of the screen is a search bar.
