Web page text are shown in boxes with 4digit numbers. Tried checking the "Let web pages use own font..." or by reinstalling - but all in vain. Other browser like IE works fine.

-> Close Firefox (click Firefox button and click Exit)

-> Start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down SHIFT key while starting Firefox

  • As an alternative method, use Win + R key combination and enter one of the following in the Windows Run box:
    • firefox -safe-mode
    • "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode
    • "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -safe-mode

-> Firefox Safe Mode window will appear -> DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click Continue in Safe Mode

Does the website's text appear normally while you are Browsing in Firefox Safe Mode ???
