My firefox browser has had issues displaying fonts when I have the "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" box checked. Its not all webpages as some have more bolded fonts, but it is more than one site.

I have scoured these forums trying to locate an answer, but for some reason the fonts are still so thin and unreadable. I have even erased all existence of firefox from my computer and reinstalled, but the issue still remains.

Please help me.

you have installed locally and that might be corrupted or are missing some variants. Also, make sure you allow pages to choose their own fonts and that you do not block remote (downloadable) fonts.

Note that you appear to be running uBlock Origin, so make sure not to "block remote fonts" in UBO.

Specifically the problem was uninstalling the helvetica font from my computer that fixed my issue. Thank you for the help. You have no idea how long this issue has plagued me for.
