Not sure why the decision was made to map to Windows settings, but the upgrade from FF21 to FF22 has also changed and locked my Windows 7 Toolbar font settings (active and inactive). They are now big and bold. While I can change the color, I cannot change the font, font size, or unbold (stays bold regardless of "B" being highlighted or not).

Not sure if anyone else has this issue, but it just made my Windows ugly.

See the image. Color is changed, but the font isn't a size 6 and it's also bold when shouldn't be.

Chosen solution

Fix by reverting to a pre-FF22 registry backup entry for: HKEY_CURRENT_USER Control Panel Desktop WindowsMetrics

You can't really modify the entries in regedit as they are hex data values. But this did (after a few hours) solve my problem.
