Facebook fonts/text margins look odd after an update
After a Firefox update, Facebook messenger fonts and/or text margins changed and started to look unpleasant to read (too narrow line spacing, the text is crammed vertically and background text fields are smaller). Chromium displays the font as before.

You can create a new profile as a quick test to see if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.

I do use the zoom option, but the problem persists on 100%. Site fonts are allowed. From inspecting the fonts, Nimbus Sans is used, which looks like a replacement for the original Helvetica. I increased the line spacing option and it did look right on higher values. Is the wrong line spacing an issue with the browser, or I should tinker with the font itself?

Tried to force the site to use other fonts (with the Firefox settings), and they all look crammed, whatever font is used.
